The birdcage metaphor was used to show how women are trapped in social patterns that leave them completely with no alternatives about how they should live.

According to this metaphor, Frye states that:

  • Society imposes roles that women must or must not fulfill.
  • However, all these roles expose women to judgment and oppression, leaving them completely without options for how to live and keeping them trapped in an untenable situation.
  • Each of these roles represents a cage bar and when they are established too often they leave individuals completely defenseless.

As an example of this, Frye argues that society will judge women if they wear very revealing clothing, but if they wear less revealing clothing they will also be subjugated and oppressed by the same society.

Furthermore, Frye claims that men can also be victims of the birdcage metaphor, but this happens less frequently.
