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.

You might not like it, but there is already a word for this - it is intersectionality.

There is, but people who claim to be intersectional feminists don't seem to struggle any less to reason about it.

"The insistence that 'only white people can be racist' is a fundamentally infantilizing Eurocentric narrative that strips vast majorities of the world of history and agency. Insistence that only European genocides matter erases POC histories."
