Discuss the role of the "double bind" in feminist philosopher Marilyn Frye's explanation of women's oppression

Need help with this one due in two days! Thanks even some ideas will work! Thank you.


- Frye identifies this as the double bind, which she describes as a situation in which "options are reduced to a very few and all of them expose one to penalty, censure or deprivation."
- Women face a situation in which no matter how they respond to external constraints on their freedom they will incur punishment.
- For example, in Western society, messages about being sexually active often conflict, leaving women with no meaningfully free choice. No matter which choice she makes, she is left in a less than ideal situation.
