Most of humanity has faced oppression for millennia. Most of humanity still does to varying degrees. All genders and ages and colours of people.

I don't see how celebrating a literal English aristocrat - Ridley's family are landed gentry, she was born in literal Westminster - is a victory against oppression or is righting any wrongs.

Building bridges through society and fixing actual problems instead of playing oppression olympics and labelling everyone six times over would go much further towards actual equity.
