I hear what you’re saying, and much of the past couple days was to highlight what we tend to think vs. what’s actually going on, this binding elite to straight, White, and male.
I would also say us straight, White guys (no elite necessary) have more culturally created blind spots, so there’s extra work to do there, which can often create uncertainty about what is equal.
Ultimately, as I hinted on Monday in a footnote, I think feminism has largely focused on the perspectives of White women, which is part of why I included an African author here. I’m guessing you’d enjoy her take.
While I don't disagree with much of what you said. Aren't you also helping there argument by continuing to refer to the elites as straight white men? If the way they convinced straight white men they have that in common why are prepaturating that. Aren't we moving the talks from elites to straight white men? Shouldn't we just focus on elites. Also I do agree we need to looked at this from top down as we inherently make hiarcharchical structures. As for the feminist question I considered myself a feminist for when feminism stood for equal rights for women. As I belive all humans should be treated equally under the law.
