Watching "Pride" (2014).
I love this movie.
Except for crying every 10 minutes.

He ranted about how not all White Cis Het Men are rich and powerful, that I was being divisive.

My answer was (and I stand by it)

I added what I added because it is true. I do not say things to be popular, I say things to get the truth out.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersectionality

I did not say that all white cis het males are rich and powerful. I said that being any of those things does help. I know this, I am white and from a powerful nation. I grew up in an upper middle class neighborhood. I tested well above average in ability in school. I got a better primary and secondary education because of where I grew up. I even worked hard to try to be what society wanted (white, cis, het and male)

None of those things boosted me into wealth, in fact working to fit into the norm broke me. I have lived in poverty for the majority of my life.

After this he blocked me.

Telling the truth sometimes makes people mad.

A Cis Man had a toot that made sense to me but they then blocked me because I answered with intersectionalism.

The original toot was that we grew up thinking you needed to be intelligent to be wealthy or be a world leader

But it turns out you just need to have no shame and be willing to shoot yourself in the foot over and over and claim you're the victim :)

to this I added

in order to "get ahead" it also helps to be born into a family that already has either money or power and it helps even more to be born into a family with both money and power.

It also helps to be able to fit into the mold of what society considers "proper" (mostly white cis het male - each of those that you hit gives a boost)

but he flipped out about this because not ALL white cis het men are at the top of societies pyramid (strawman argument against intersectionalism

These rigid ideas of gender are everywhere and I want everyone to recognize them without extensive theory or debate

The reply connects femininity in men to homophobia for humor. The original poster is upset the couple are acting outside traditional gendered roles.

This is how #mysogyny affects #men. Being seen as feminine isn't beneficial to him as womanhood and girlhood are viewed as weakness and hated. He cannot openly connect with his children without being misgendered even as cisgender man. #MisplacedMysogyny is another face of #toxicMasculinity and is especially (en)forced on men of less privileged groups.

This is a common type of #racializedMysogyny where (racist misogynists) call black women manly especially in success. Being seen as manly is not beneficial for her relationship, because the stigma of homophobia in black men makes. It is not beneficial for her carrear, because the stigma of 'aggression in men' works double for black people historically. This is an attack to invalidate her identity and success.
