    and Not Having Your Rights Endangered Due To Sex Race Caste Religion Etc

    Feminism has been monopolized by privileged sections of society such as cis-heterosexual, upper-caste, middle-class women. Issues faced by marginalized groups such as rural women, disabled women, and Dalit women are often ignored. White feminism also focuses more on struggles faced by white women without addressing oppression faced by ethnic minority women. Intersectional feminism recognizes that women experience oppression differently based on their various identities and backgrounds. Feminism needs to be more inclusive of all women and their unique struggles.

    Feminism Has Been Monopolized by Privileged Sections Of Society.

    Feminism is a range of social , political movements, and ideologies that aim to define and


    establish the political, economic, personal, and social equality of the sexes. A privilege is a
    right or advantage gained by birth, social position, effort, or concession. And not having
    your rights endangered due to sex race caste religion etc

    This movement for gender equality is increasingly entangled with neoliberalism, which has
    mobilised feminism to advance political goals and enhance market value.

    those who conduct and gain from research continue to be predominately cis-heterosexual,
    upper-caste, middle-class, able-bodied women.

    So long as we continue to stare into the glittery light of the latest celebrity feminist, we
    avoid looking at the very real inequities that women throughout the world continue to face.
    We avoid having the difficult conversations about the pay gap and the all-too-often sexist
    music we listen to and the movies we watch that tell women’s stories horribly (if at all) and
    the limited reproductive freedom women are allowed to exercise and the pervasive sexual
    harassment and violence too many women face.

    There exists the exclusion of marginalized voices including include communitites like
    Women, people with disabilities, Dalits, Aged people, poor, the downtrodden, etc. 
    feminism may hold a different meaning for rural Indian women who struggle to
    access necessities like food, healthcare and education. Issues like equal pay and
    reclaiming public spaces will mean little to them.  The issue of a ‘digital-divide’
    continues to be a concern for cyberfeminism. The gap between those with and
    without digital access, creates a rift in the idea of a ‘universal’ cyberfeminist
    movement.
    White feminism is a form of feminism that focuses on the struggles of white women while
    failing to address distinct forms of oppression faced by ethnic minority women and women
    lacking other privileges.[1] .[2] Arundhati Roy once said: “There’s no such thing as the
    voiceless, only the deliberately silenced and the preferably unheard.” 
    realising that feminism isn’t about “saving” women from the global south, it’s actually
    about learning from them as true equals in a shared struggle.  When I say feminism has
    been hijacked by white women, I mean Third world women’ are often seen as a
    ‘powerless’ victimised group in comparison to liberated Western feminists.

    Most privileged feminists ignore intersectional feminism which is the understanding of


    how women's overlapping identities — including race, class, ethnicity, religion and sexual
    orientation — impact the way they experience oppression and discrimination.to explain thru
    an example. A white woman is penalized by her gender but has the advantage of race. A
    black woman is disadvantaged by her gender and her race. A Latin lesbian experiences
    discrimination because of her ethnicity, her gender and her sexual orientation.  

    The transphobia revolving around feminists is scary. online roots of the term TERF which is
    anti trans radical feminists originated in the late 2000s. They now prefer to call themselves
    “gender critical,” a euphemism akin to white supremacists calling themselves “race
    realists.” Gender-critical feminists blame the patriarchy for deluding trans men into thinking
    they can identify out of female oppression, or blame structural homophobia for convincing
    trans men they can become straight men rather than lesbians.

    Many high-class feminists refuse to acknowledge the need to break gender roles also in
    some ways leading to toxic masculinity.Considering all the points above,one can say that
    feminism has become the monopoly of the privileged in today’s society.
