It's well known that in every movement some people can cherry-pick issues to focus on and neglect others.
Sometimes it's an unconscious bias, sometimes is attention seeking, sometimes it's a deflection tactic.
E.g. some "affluent white people" might talk all day about discrimination and never touch the painful topic of wealth inequality across the world.
*BUT* this does not invalidates the valuable goals a whole movement.
If you cherry-pick some examples to dismiss a whole movement you are making a strawman.
