I'm going to talk more because it's my blog and I can but! I do actually want to point out how it's not just middle class and upper class white girls doing this. White women of all classes have a long-standing issue of both not recognizing the privileges they have (or wanting to preserve only their privileges) and being quick to throw them away For Men. Because at the end of the day. They're white, they still will not face as many issues as non-white women do when this effort, privileges, and right to self-determination are gone. Also in general poor white people for the most part have yet to make the connection that being white does not save them and but they have more in common with non-white people than white people of higher classes. Most poor white people have yet to realize that the entire governing body and general upper classes of society do not care for them - not just partial pieces of the government they don't like, all of it.
We can assume that poor white women aren't going "but I'm just a girl" because poor white women have been oppressed and abused as well. But you can see day-to-day examples where that's blatantly not true and there are plenty of poor white women that not only do not recognize the value of education and the right to self-determination but they will willingly give it up and try to take others' away (at the drop of a hat sometimes too!).
Like, I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be hateful or nitpicky but I live in rural oklahoma. Do you know how many poor white women I meet that discourage their daughters from going to college? Do you know how many poor white women I meet my age that don't believe in higher education even for themselves? And some of them use these serious version of "you're just a girl" because why would you need to go to college? Your husband is going to be the breadwinner? You need to know how to make babies and stay at home.
