i remember the 2016 race when identity politics were used as a wedge issue to break up class consciousness
Gender equality is inseparable from class consciousness. The amount of leftist on this platform who are dismissive of feminism is kinda insane. If our class can't support and aid the most endangered minorities within our own body, why have any hope that any of this is actually about solidarity.
Feminism is foundational in creating class consciousness in western society, you start from the bottom up. If you don't upset the social economic hierarchy then there is no reason for disenfranchised minorities to believe a revolution would be anything but a civil dispute within the current hegemony.
I think intersectional feminism had a great shot at lighting issues that different types of folk encounter. Somehow socioeconomic status was disregarded and focus was put mainly on race, sex and sexuality. Which is why poor, white, straight men felt were left out and quite understandably so. It wasn’t a problem with intersectional feminism though.
I don't really understand why kyriarchy isn't talked about more by feminists. I think kyriarchy does a much better job of conceptualizing modern systems of oppression vs patriarchy. Multi-dimensional (kyriarchy) vs one dimensional (patriarchy).

Because it will shift the focus from regular men who usually mind their own business to the real problem - deceptive rich parasites
I mean it's not that big of a mystery when considering the American higher education system. Feminist education being dominated by professors from Ivy League universities made it inevitable that it would be learned through the lens of liberal economics.
Though that's not really an excuse for self proposed leftist to conflate all aspects of feminism with "blue hair, hate men" that's so common nowadays.
This is the idea behind Jineology if anyone wants to read about it.
