People seem to really struggle to reason about the fact that the same person can be both privileged and oppressed without these things in any way cancelling out. If they're ingroup, people ignore that they're privileged, if they're outgroup people ignore that they're oppressed.
I think this is partly because people (across the board, this isn't just a social justice thing) take adversity as granting moral authority. Admitting your privilege feels like giving up moral authority. Admitting someone's oppression feels like granting them moral authority.
