Yes They Can.

Can any privileged descendants explain why increasing 'exclusion, oppression, and inequality'  feels fine to them?

"How the Right Wing Uses ‘Feminism’ for Its Own Purposes"

https://www.leftvoice.org/how-the-right-wing-uses-feminism-for-its-own-purposes/

"Beyoncé, Ivanka Trump, and brands like Dove incorporated feminism into their marketing discourse (does 'progressive neoliberalism' ring a bell?). Arfini points out that the 'global expansion of feminist messaging is fraught with contradictions and paradoxes when pursuing the feminist goal of systemic social justice in areas that foster exclusion, oppression and inequality.'

Do very few powerful women sit at the tables where important decisions are made? Yes, but criticizing sexism doesn’t mean that having more female prime ministers and presidents improves or disrupts the pillars of the democracies we live in."
