Stop saying “Rich women will be fine”

People who aren't women (or just women who don't know better) don't understand that women are a social class entirely of our own- the vast majority of liberal "woke" people don't. People don't want to see and admit that all women make up an entirely distinct social class and face struggles on a global scale in an undivided way, unlike any other group of people which all also contain men in them. It's easier for the vast majority of people to acknowledge the simplest forms of social classes like "the poor vs the rich" because there the responsibility and privilege is usually lifted off them, but misogyny and treating women as subhuman is so deeply ingrained in even the most decent people on some level, that the concept of simply *women* being a unique social class with unique struggles is threatening. People still feel the need to divide even the most universal women's issues into something that seemingly doesn't touch "the privileged ones" because otherwise they would have to see the fact that no woman is truly privileged in the way a single man can be. Pretending that rich women don't have to face oppression helps bury away the global hatred for women, and masks any issue as just another poor vs rich thing which men can also insert themselves in time and time again.
