#im tired of the lack of complexity in most discourses nowadays in general

[magnoliamyrrh]

like u know. "white women especially of the middle and higher classes have used their whitness and their social status in relation to white men and their power in order to opress minorities" "there is a correlation in america between race and economic status" and "white women of all classes have experienced historical systemic opression in the form of sexism and male violence often to a very high and brutal degree and Still do" and "there are white american women who live in grueling poverty and conditions" are statements that co-exist bc the world is complex.

also like plenty of ppl will kinda mindlessly say oh well u see white women have privilege bc theyre used by white men to create more white babies.... and its like... can we pls understand that while this has given them a social status to an extent this social status isnt based on the greatest privilege under the sun but actually their historical and current day opression, and that being indoctrinated since birth into a sexist, ultra conservative religion and culture which teaches them that virgnity, no abortion, no saying no to sex to husband ever, and pumping out 50 kids even if it kills them and ruins their bodies, and their indoctrination into submission isnt actually like,,,,,, all that lovely and great of a damned privilege but actually a horrible form of opression theyve been taught to uphold to their own detriment
