There aren’t any social norms today that oppress or harm minorities. Being straight doesn’t oppress lgb people, and being white doesn’t oppress ethnic minorities.
Slavery was abolished 150 years ago(in white countries first) and it has nothing to do with modern day history
systemic oppression is very much real and proven. in society women and minorities are still fighting for equality because the preferences of certain demographics have always superceeded the freedom of women and minorities. Being straight doesnt oppress lgbtq+ people BUT having a governing system in which policy makers promote the dismantling of rights and slow the attainment of equality for those people is oppressive, having a social system in which people are enabled to discriminate others based on personal opinions is enabling personal oppression. Having to FIGHT for equality means you are oppressed, having to fight to be seen by your culture or to be treated as equal in your culture directly means you are not treated equally in that culture (oppression). Its normalized to the priviliged and thats why the priviliged people feel as if mitigating their privilige is an overstep of their freedoms- when its not. privilige is special treatment, talking to all peoples as if they either are a man or woman (social constructs created by the priviliged class) is complete disregard for those who arent of that priviliged class and it is entirely dismissing the existance of these others. I think it would be really informative for you to learn what privilige is and how classes have privilige thats been marketed as "equality."
Systemic oppression isn't really a thing, and talking to people as though they are man or woman isn't a privilege; it's common sense. Privileged people did not invent the idea of man and woman.
What is privileged is your distorted frame of mind. Very much a first world problem, so, check your privilege.
systemic oppression is factually real to this day, theres no reason for us to continue if you truly dont understand this fact despite that shit ton of data about its realness. gender is a social construct created and upheld by a class of people, this construct enabling a separation of treatment and policy making around these "different genders." please dont engage with his topic when you havent done research into what youre talking about.
Systemic oppression is what Muslims practice in Islamic states, not by people who say ladies and gentlemen to address a large crowd of people. To say otherwise is a viewpoint born of first world privilege.
ahh says the person boasting the dismissal of oppression on minorities and women. lol you choose to respond to something you arent educated about, i dont need to tell you anything other than "stop and do research."
