Most of humanity has faced oppression for millennia. Most of humanity still does to varying degrees. All genders and ages and colours of people.
I don’t see how celebrating a literal English aristocrat - Ridley’s family are landed gentry, she was born in literal Westminster - is a victory against oppression or is righting any wrongs.
Building bridges through society and fixing actual problems instead of playing oppression olympics and labelling everyone six times over would go much further towards actual equity.
The ruling class isn’t interested in emancipating anyone, but they recognize that feminism and anti-racism are popular and can make money, which has resulted in what you’re talking about.
Building bridges through society would be fantastic, but I don’t think it’s possible without a revolution, because you would need to wield state power to force those bridges to be built over the course of several generations and all the power structures that currently exist would resist it.
