I'm assuming you basing this mostly on stuff you've read on internet articles and social media and not in your personal life/public space. If so, you're always going to have a subsection people who for a lack of better phrasing; do the most whilst ignoring the important issues.
I do agree with you that there is a problem with white feminism in where WOC are either completely ignored or admonished for what's perceived to be anti-feminist actions (for example, muslim women wearing the burka/veil - umm isn't the whole point that you're free to chose?). I'm just saying that your post is not helpful when there are genuine problems worldwide with women. Bashing one to defend the other is not helpful.
Comparing most women in the so-called 1st world to the shit in the OP, it's kinda like saying 'people who stub their toe are allowed to complain just like people who are having their head sawed off'. Well, yeah; but there should also be a pretty good dose of perspective for the first group. All suffering is not created equal, neither are all countries.
This country is not perfect, pretty fucking far from it actually, but I am proud to at least live in a time/place where if a person is raped, it doesn't matter if it's the President who did it, there are laws & a legal system in place to at least pursue the matter, most of the time. And that is worthy of acknowledgment, in my view.
The OP is a pretty good example of the opposite of that... disgusting that this shit still happens systemically in some parts of the world.
