Oppression that occurs at the institutional level, such as in government policy-making, within educational institutions and the throughout the health care system. While one-on-one experiences of discrimination might stand out more in our minds, systemic oppression is even farther-reaching because it is coded right into the institutions we depend on to survive.
"Bathroom bills" passed in various states are an example of the systemic oppression of transgender people.

Get the systemic oppression mug.The major for people that aren't smart enough to handle computer science.
Typically involving idiots that want to work for a large company, sit in a cubicle, and work for people that don't typically understand a thing about computers (other than the fact that they can look at pr0n with them).
This is usually ok as a typical IS major is only a notch or two above their computer illiterate coworkers.
Typical IS tasks: Helping their boss figure out how to change the font on their word document, creating a 'database' using an Excel spreadsheet, helping their boss erase the lemonparty.com history item off their workstation.
While not all IS majors are bad or stupid people, the sad truth is that the bad and stupid ones often end up in charge of actual computer scientists because they 'know tech'

Get the Roofing Systems mug.They're just like multiple personality disorder/dissociative identity disorder, only it's absolutely bullshit, and completely fake. Used by low-lives and losers as an excuse to like themselves, in the same vein as self-diagnosed Asperger's syndrome. Usually, these people call their "personalities" people, or headmates, or some other shit. Their alleged headmates are usually fictional characters from TV shows, which, most of the time, is some typical fandom shared by geeky teenage girls everywhere. These people fight avidly to get their headmates recognized as people, and to stop "discrimination".
On the flip side, DID is a real condition, therapist induced or otherwise. Even identities/personalities in this disorder AREN'T RECOGNIZED AS ACTUAL PEOPLE. They're psychological constructs with autonomous control of the host.

Multiple Systems: "We are a multiple system of 593,000 different headmates, from over 9000 different shows. From Goku to The Doctor to Charlie Sheen, they're all there. In my head. But, I don't have a mental disorder, I am naturally multiple. And these are all people, real ones. I am all these different people in one body."
Normal People: "Seems legit."
Multiple Systems: "You don't believe me? DISCRIMINATION!"
