View submission: capitalism's demolition will not dismantle misogyny.
No, I said that they can escape the worst effects of it through wealth- I have not said they can escape, nor have I said that it could be removed.
Nor have I said wealthy women “have nothing to complain about”. The fact remains that poorer women are worse affected by the patriarchy- I fail to see how that isn’t a fact. Intersectionality is not about individuals, it’s about, in the words of Crenshaw “ “not really concerned with shallow questions of identity and representation but ... more interested in the deep structural and systemic questions about discrimination and inequality.”
It also takes class as its central point, before breaking down other identities and seeing how they interact. That was always its purpose.

And no, you aren't explicitly saying wealthy women can buy their way out or that they have nothing to complain about. But overemphasizing class as a cause for **gender** inequality is being grossly oversimplistic and implies such things.
