This was not very productive. Overall power imbalances do not prevent it being the other way around in certain subfields. Whites can have most power still blacks can decide who gets to make a career in hip-hop. This is perfecty normal and in fact you should expect this. The problem with the current feminism narrative going back straight to Hegelian philosophy is that it is a one way interaction between oppressor and oppressed. It is never so. People react back and make their own structures. Nobody is fully passive.
