Not usually one single force or barrier but a whole system of forces and barriers. It involves a network of systemically related barriers (systemically related meaning: part of a system) When we take a step back and look at how the one barrier is part of a larger system. Skiing and breaking you leg, you are suffering but not oppressed. When you are driving and there are limits to driving, there is not oppression.
