Everyone's focusing on the privilege part rather than really the salient point that the way forward is to value things other than earning power.
Sure, peoples lived experiences suck. That's a lot of pain. We can lament all we want. But what does it achieve? How is it productive outside of venting?
If all we do is vent about the injustices of the world, it becomes the focus and creates an infection of red pill-isms.
What we behold is what we become.
I'm not saying this to invalidate or lived realities. But what I'm pointing out is a constructive way forward.
And the constructive way forward is imagining a world that significantly does away with heiarchy. At its core when folks say things like "abolish the patriarchy" "feminism", it's really about remodeling the works without heirachy.
That said, heiarchy and power dynamics never fully go away. But there are pockets of life where we can adopt those principles with each other, with our partners, etc. As a society we've lost many concepts of communal living, and have become incredibly individualistic to our detriment. And we're going to have to learn to give up the individualism for a bit more collaboration.

edit: sorry if you were writing a response, but I think I'm just going to go in circles, so I blanked this.
