Obviously this doesn’t apply to all white women. Further, I’m not going to dig for statistics, which are usually biased in one way or another anyway. These are my generalized opinions based on my own experience. And some of these opinions are harsh:
1) White women (with or without children) who are married to men who support them (fully or partially) don’t risk having hard conversations or taking bold actions with regards to systemic poverty because they don’t want to lose their own financial stability.
2) White women (with or without children) who are married to men who support them (partially or fully) promote the values of hustle culture in the digital marketplace, a form of small business entrepreneurship, the latest version of harmful capitalism, as a means to financial success. When in reality, these women only can afford the instability and risks that come along with hustle culture because they have financial security via marriage.
3) White women who are financially stable have gone so “woo-woo” that they bypass current social inequities by prescribing magical thinking to those who are experiencing poverty. For example, they may judge others for not having a “money mindset” and not being able to “attract abundance” via psychological manipulation.
4) White women, financially stable or not, are simply ignorant of their privilege in the scheme of our society.
5) White women believe that the limits of charities and religion are ample resources to assist the poor.
6) White women hate conflict and therefore hate examining their own hypocrisy.
7) White women who are financially stable feel victimized enough, that they are already doing enough, and don’t want to take on anymore causes such as poverty.
7) White women who are financially stable still chase thinness, which supports a caste system of our food supply.
White women are totally complicit in this equation. We don’t want to lose the financial privileges that we have so we don’t discuss how we are part of the problem.
I do think the economy since Reagan is operating under the trickle down theory. The more the wealthy prosper, the more trickle down there is supposed to be. Good luck with that. Tell it to young people who’ve resigned themselves to never being able to own a house. The facts are unmistakable.
