When you live in civil society, you have to respect the values of everybody present. That includes feminists/women.

Now as to your "we need to take the material interests of women into account," I guess just... you're talking about individual women, right?

Like yeah, there are women invested in sexist structures, same way there are POC invested in racist structures, for various reasons.

But in general women-as-women don't benefit from sexism, individual women benefit from sexism because of their jobs, their friends, etc.

Obviously not every single man commits sexual assault and gets away with it, doesn't mean the power structure arounds sexual assault...
