    No, the current class society is dominated and shaped by the bourgeois (business owners/capitalists) and not some evil collective gender cabal. It’s in the interests of this ruling class to oppress women, given how they can pay them less, have them stay at home raising children for free via unpaid labor who them grow up to being workers to have surplus value extracted from, and therefore exploited in the future. These future workers can be both men and women, and they’re getting fisted regardless of one’s gender.

    Removing this class element from women’s struggle and making it solely about one’s gender is genuinely harmful, as it makes others blind to the true cause of the oppression.

      Well, there kind of is an evil collective gender cabal, but it’s a gender that has an entire drawer of cuff links. Normal cis men are just minions sometimes.

    Rich men created the system. They’re doing absolutely fine. Patriarchy has always been about class, fundamentally.
