Department websites no longer create event pages for their own events since the university's official calendar started managing online event pages during Fall 2018. See "Official Department Calendar" page for the latest departmental event information—it loads just Philosophy Department's events from the university's full repository of events at calendar.fsu.edu.

This would mean that many individuals and persons are oppressed without there being an identifiable oppressor which we can quantify or to whom we can point. Secondly, Frye claims that men are not oppressed as men, but only insofar as they are members of particular groups (Frye 2014 [1983], 38
