I read another account and they apparently were discussing oppressed people and she said she was tired of hearing two white men talking about it because they know no more about being oppressed than they know about menstruating. She even dismissed the mayor, a Palestinian immigrant who, as such, would normally be counted among the oppressed, because his “skin is light enough.”

Apparently this woman has no idea what real oppression is, only her version...


Definition:
prolonged cruel or unjust treatment or control.
“a region shattered by oppression and killing”

We have ALL felt oppressed at our jobs, in our communities, with our piers, bullying is a form of oppression.

We have ALL felt unjustly treated. I guess your only oppressed if you meet her criteria for her definition of what oppression is.

Clearly she is ignorant, clearly she is frustrated, and most importantly she is not part of a discussion, because if she was, she could add what she thinks are relevant, or salient points to make what they were discussing more relevant, more exact. Instead, she shuts down the discussion, and becomes the very thing she hates...

The OPPRESSOR, the very definition of oppression.
