BW aren’t oppress by Black men our oppression lies in historical factors and the scars that have been left behind that create an environment of self destructive behaviour and the racial hegemony created to maintain us at the bottom. What black women suffer from in respect to our male counterparts is perceived indifference, no less destructive ( whole other topic), which some may argue to be oppression. But I do not but I guess it is how one defines oppression. I choose to define as an action rather than an absence of one.
WW have never been oppressed by WM their status hinges on what WM have achieved throughout their reign. If you study European history, white women have always had relative freedom but they have chosen to remain under their men because it is bigger gain than a loss, it’s a methodical approach rather than one out of fear of reprisal. Which is why WW who don’t play by the rules are more ostracized by women than even men.
Men and women are meant to work as a unit not compete against one another, which has become ten sad reality among too many black circles.
If WM has not colonized the rest of the world and enrich themselves off other nations resources would WW have the notoriety they have now across the world? The phrasing is as important as the message.
Certain taboo topics are better discussed by intellectuals because they know how to phrase things in order to invite a sensible debate rather than incite combativeness which Tariq is incapable of doing.
I’ll add that some women may complain against patriarchy but truly do not want to live in a non patriarchal world. We just want a more balanced one. Many white feminists still subscribe to the same patriarchy that they deplore because it gives them the freedom to live comfortably. What women denounce is toxic patriarchy (ie/ Saudia Arabia, India...) but not patriarchy as a whole.
