Marilyn Frye

Her writings offer discussions of feminist topics, such as: white supremacy, male privilege, and gay and lesbian marginalization.

Although she approaches the issues from the perspective of justice, she is also engaged with the metaphysics, epistemology, and moral psychology of social categories.

[2] In her chapter entitled "Oppression" in the book Feminist Frontiers, Frye discusses the idea of the double bind in gender.

This absence of choice permeates so thoroughly into women's day-to-day life that even small things like how they choose to dress or talk are criticized.

As Frye tells it, each individual bind women face can be thought of as a single bar in a cage: by itself, it isn't enough to contain the bird.
