"And not everyone in the group of the oppressed suffers the same level of oppression. As such, there will be women, who suffer from the patriarchal system differently, and who also benefit and thus reinforce it, in much deeper ways than they realise."

"But Cindy’s ‘advise’, speaks to a larger issue. For as long as feminism has been around, it has been resisted by various groups, for the most part because it challenges existing power structures, and privileges of those for whom the status quo works better.
Any movement that purports to dismantle a system of oppression will not be supported by everyone, because inherently, there are always large numbers of people who benefit from an oppressive system."
