I'm a speciesist. > it makes sense that people would cast their oppression in various ways down the hierarchy. It's not always linear. A black man might be margalized in the work place (or the criminal justice system), but in a position of power at home over his wife, but if he is in prison, he might be in a position of power. "It's complicated" is a term commonly used by people within the social justice scene. And just because there are loads of systematice oppressions doesn't mean we can't fight them all and try to end them all. Classism and sexism and homophobia and ... are all wrong.
