these oppressive structures and if that's the case, these systems can't be as oppressive as proponents of critical theory think. Fingers crossed that makes more sense!!! (2/2)

Ah, yes. They are far too simplistic about this and this is mostly because they neglect class as a significant issue because it complicates things.
