Making you uncomfortable is the point. An opressed person doesn't get to opt-out of politics about opresssion.

Everyone is oppressed in some way. Unfortunately, everyone loses in the oppression Olympics. If you are oppressing others that you assume aren't oppressed enough, then you are an oppressor and the cycle continues.
If everyone is opressed in some way - I agree - then my conclusion is that we should realise we all benefit from being allowed to opt-into the politics of those opressions. Many of my employment rights were or are political arenas.
