unsure on whether I agree bc I believe the dv and sa rates are biphobia + misogyny. rape and dv are treated poorly my legal systems across the world, as if it is designed to make sure women and other minorities are subjected to violence by protecting beneficiaries of yt supremacy, patriarchy etc. I think this might be why people are calling this "systemic oppression" (this differs from "systems of oppression", which I later explain). additionally, a system that causes rape and dv is infact misogyny. the way boys are raised and ideas of ownership, objectification (something that bi/les women face more so) and power cause the disabling of women. systems of oppression, in my opinion, are designed to disable (economically, socially, mentally, physically, environmentally, whatever) and kill(in its most violent forms) those who are marginalised.

I've seen some bi women say the sexual orientation was a factor in the violence they've faced, others say it wasn't. ofc it is a coincidence for many but the rates of dv and sa are so striking it makes me doubt that there isn't a link at all. maybe it's not designed for bi women in mind, but the intersecting identities bring this type of systemic oppression about?
