Well, now thousands are dying around the world, preventable deaths if people would have paid attention.
Those people were willing to put themselves to the hazard, go to jail, not hurt anyone, to try and save lives.

Now that I'm a parent, I'm suddenly realizing what huge feminist issue student loans are.
My loans are around 130k, which means I'm HEAVILY incentivized to stay out of the workforce to keep them in deferment. I don't even know that I'd bring home an income working, between childcare costs and loan payments.

Normally, I'm a big believer in Hanlon's razor: don't attribute to malice that which can be explained with incompetence.
But in some cases, you have to acknowledge that the distinction is pointless because either way, a marginalized group is being brutalized. Either you fight the evil, or evil happens. There's no neutrality. Intent doesn't matter when it comes to the abuse of marginalized groups, only results matter.
