When you learn that oppression is between a strong vs weak person issue, you won't be able to deal with your oppressor individually. You will keep making it a gender or race issue.

For instance: a rich white man could disrespect/oppress a poor white man and most people would

... overlook.
If he does same to a black man, the entire black people will make it a race issue and start creating more problem by hurting other innocent white people in the process.

Same applies when a black man disrespects his fellow black man, it won't be a big deal, they
...will sort it out.
If a man does same to a woman, every other man will take a brunt of what they didn't know about. Women will make it a gender issue, forgetting that the oppressor could have been a woman and also, the victim could be a man.

Powerful women oppress men too.
