    Even the men who push for class solidarity are perpetrators of sexism. Because even in the working class, women are subjugated and pushed lower and treated as less than.

    Men are inherently in a position of power within the patriarchy. They don’t need to have their power centralized in order to rape others, they already have.

      which is exactly it. power disparity. there is no innate thing in man vs women. it is the power disparity that is the problem. this is why all people should have the vote and all should be represented in society and wealth and power should not be concentrated.

            “Quiet down about rape now, dear, the real problem is the class war!”

            They’re both real problems.

              Whats funny is the first statement is from you while the second reflects what I have been saying. The core is the imbalance. If he did not have special privelege he would be in jail.

                  that fact would indicate the issue with power imbalance. i guarantee that would not be the case in a society that did not have massive wealth disparity and the reseultant inequity. Many of the ones ones that don’t get convicted the victims are poor but the assaultants are rich. When you reverse that do a poor assaultant and rich victim all of a sudden the law works better.

                    The special privilege is being a man and a rapist, not that he’s rich.

                    Rapists across the board don’t see much jail time at all. Poor or rich.

                    Stop trying to downplay our society’s issues with rape.
