Remember ladies: Even though the vast majority of white women are poor working class and in service jobs I saw the show Desperate Housewives once so I can confirm that you are actually a rich wine mom that somehow benefits from the system even though said system is a patriarchy that considers you less than human. Girl bosses exist so sexism isn't real anymore. You are not oppressed. I am very smart :very-intelligent:

EDIT: I am 100% directing this at misogynists and am fully aware that BIPOC do not benefit from being white in the same way white women do. I cannot speak on behalf of BIPOC and am venting about people using the existence of wine moms and Karens as an excuse to be sexist from my own experiences as someone who was born white, poor and AFAB. I acknowledge that I benefit from being white.

    somehow benefits from the system even though said system is a patriarchy

    It’s not just the patriarchy, though. That’s the thing. The system isn’t just “somehow” supposed to benefit white women. It’s designed it benefit all white people, regardless of gender or class.

    I agree with your message that sometimes people act misogynist towards women and try to hide it behind “white women”.

    But that criticism can only be made of white men. BIPOC people have numerous, numerous criticisms of white women and white feminism who have benefited from racial oppression, which is also in inherently tied to class btw. White women are richer than BIPOC people, on average. Whether you choose BIPOC people in the West or people in the Global South. How did that become a thing?

    You should edit your post to add a clarification about this point.
