Three which have been highlighted in Ms. Magazine and which address a similar theme are The Coat-Hanger Rebellion, Not Going Back, and Beyond the Gender Gap. The common theme in the three stories is the oppression of women and other minority groups.
Not Going Back and Beyond Gender Gap focus on the just concluded US elections and how Trump’s win means for women and other minority groups such as the gay and the LGBT. The Coat-Hanger Rebellion, on its part, focuses on protests in Poland against the total ban on abortion (Howard, 2016).

These stories focus on the issue of women and other minority groups and their rights and how they have tried to fight for their rights. Not Going Back and Beyond Gender Gap paint a grim picture for women and the gay community taking into account Trump’s campaign message (Burroughs, 2016). In his campaign, Trump indicated clearly that he was against abortion and the gay people. This implies that he was likely to enact laws that criminalize abortion and homosexuality in US. The articles highlight these issues and spell the consequences of such policies to women and the gay community.
However, while the articles highlight the oppression meted against women by the male dominated society, they also indicate that in some cases, women are their own enemies. In Beyond the Gender Gap, the writer indicates that if only all women had voted for Hillary Clinton, she would have emerged the winner and this would have provided her with an opportunity to fight for their rights, considering that she was a supporter of the policies of Obama which favored women and other minority such as the gays (Smeal, 2016).
