      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Gender oppression takes different forms by class (e.g., domestic confinement vs. wage exploitation), making unified interests difficult without addressing class-specific harms.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Historical suffrage campaigns successfully united working-class and affluent women around a common demand, demonstrating sustained cross-class mobilization.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Gender oppression operates through systematic institutions (law, family, economy) affecting all women regardless of class position, providing stable basis for solidarity.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
