Women are often self-righteous in their relations with men. Somehow it is more moral to be the oppressed than the oppressor. The person who must play the weaker role has only his moral stand to fill his ego. A person who has been oppressed is less laden with guilt, and tends to allow themselves more freedom of action than the guilty party. Often the weak exert power over those who are in a weaker position.
Women often play exactly the same persecuting role they experience in relation to their children.
White women have had the freedom to persecute Black males, and have used the freedom fully. Mexican-Americans have persecuted Black people as well. In a certain sense, American democracy has meant the freedom of everyone to persecute Black people. Many White American women have the same illusion of freedom as has the immigrant and the poor white male. All of this is just to remind ourselves that no one has a corner on oppression.
