View submission: capitalism's demolition will not dismantle misogyny.
Sorry, but that is incorrect. As above, Crenshaw, who came up with the idea, places class at the centre of intersectionality. If you have a dissenting source I’d like to see it because it would be interesting.
Class is central to gender inequality, that is quite simply the point of the subreddit- check the about section. Is it the only thing? No, but if your arguments aren’t at least using a class lens then you are probably on the wrong subreddit. If you think wealthy women suffer the effects of the patriarchy at the same level as poorer women then again, maybe check what material and class analysis actually is in relation to feminism, and use them.

Crenshaw was absolutley not hyper focused class as you are today. Her entire life's work was fighting for feminist causes and against the oppression of **women**. She's not an anti-capitalist. Intersectionality was developed to show how **women** experience oppression in various ways. She intersects race and class with **gender oppression** and yes, those dealing with compound prejudices regarding their race and class will experience harsher punishments from the patriarchy. But intersectionality **does not** state, nor has it ever proported that wealth cancels out the axis of gender oppression. And no amount of revisionist history lessons will change that. Wealthy women may not face class discrimination, but they still very much experience gender discrimination. And that's because **gender** is the central point of misogyny. Not class.

You’re acting as if you demolished class, misogyny would almost vanish.
Do you not notice the disdain and fuming misogyny people have towards rich women under the guise of being anti-capitalist from the marxist bros?
Most people in this subreddit would agree that wealth makes things preferable for women. For example, being private property (raped by 1 man) is preferable to being public property (raped by many men AKA prostitution). But wealth is preferable for ANY DEMOGRAPHIC including white men. Meaning it is not CLASS that caused misogyny it is MEN. Poor men do not face “misandry” more than rich men, which is none. All women have to deal with misogyny—doesn’t that tell you that it is misogyny is SEX BASED and not CLASS BASED?
You’re saying class is the main CAUSE for misogyny. You are in fact, wrong. MEN are the cause for misogyny. When men are overwhelmingly responsible for the class system, all the wars, corporate greed.
Misogyny is universal. You’re deflecting the blame from men. And btw, if you blame “class”, guess who it was created by.
