View submission: capitalism's demolition will not dismantle misogyny.
I don’t think what I wrote differs from what you wrote, but wealthy women are massively less likely to suffer from the effects of the patriarchy- women from poorer backgrounds suffer far, far more.
This subreddit is a class focused feminist subreddit, so I’m surprised that class is lacking from a lot of these analyses.

I think you have an extremely underdeveloped idea of the patriarchy if you think wealth can buy a woman's way out of it. Yes, the poor suffer more because they are poor. But economics didn't invent misogyny and its not't going to cure it, either.
Intersectionality is essential to understanding how the patriarchy affects *individuals* from various demographics. But it's not meant to, nor was it ever developed for the purpose of telling wealthy women they've got nothing to complain about
