You have watched part of "Boys Don't Cry." Write a reaction to this film and use the theories expressed in Marilyn Frye's article about "Oppression" to make your points.

This was actually my second time watching the movie "Boys Don't Cry" and it was so interesting to me, because I saw this movie when I was about 10 years old and the differences in the way I perceived it now was what made the movie so good to me. I did not understand it when I was younger, and now I do.
"Boys Don't Cry" relates to "Oppression" by Marilyn Frye and it made me realize how hard it must be for a person with same-sex tendencies to express themselves. Our society should be more accepting of gays, because if they were people wouldn't be driven to act as the opposite sex. If people could just take one second to think about other people's happiness, crimes such as Brandon Teena getting raped in the movie could be prevented.
