Oppressionism

When a person, of any background or history, constantly looks for new ways for themself or others to feel oppressed.

Emily needs to chill with her Oppressionism, because she just made another offended post online, this time stating malpractice because her doctor recommended that she lose weight to remain in good health.

necklace of oppression

Usually seen in the form of a ‘lanyard’. Worn by employees usually to show that they are an employee or as it contains a metric for security or monitoring i.e. identity card/swipe card.

It’s how corporations tag their employees.

The supervisor walked over waving her lanyard, thinking it made her look important. She didn’t realise that it wasn’t a badge of authority but rather it was a necklace of oppression.

White Woman Oppression Syndrome

White Woman Oppression Syndrome (or WWOS for short), is a common condition in which Caucasian women, in particular American Caucasian women, believe they are the most important demographic and try to find any reason to feel oppressed, largely due to historical factors that have lead to women NOT being the most talked about demographic. Most commonly it is white women, especially those who are upper-middle class, who feel they're missing out in the oppression Olympics so they try to latch onto outdated or false delusions to prove their oppression.

"Black people are 5 times more likely to be locked in up prison and half as likely to go to college in America, black single-parents make up for 30% of all single parents, and black people are the victims of 50% of racial hate crimes."

"Yeah, but one time when I was visiting my friend in LA, I got catcalled by a guy I didn't find attractive. Don't you know women make 83 cents on the dollar of a man?"

"Please don't drag your White Woman Oppression Syndrome into this conversation..."

Oppression cred stacking

Similar to victim cred stacking, but more general and woke. See: victim cred stacking.

Holly is otherwise dumpy, ordinary, and unappealing, so she adds autism and non-binary to her profile bios to garner some oppression cred stacking so that she can play the victim in online conversations.
