Now tell me how class exploitation explains the fact that 1 in 3 women are victims of violence or sexual assault by a partner or family member?
What you really mean to say is that the only issues that matter are those than concern you. Not only do our concerns not matter, you have the nerve to think you have the right to tell others what they should care about. I can't even imagine having the sense of entitlement that I would think others experiences so trivial that I would insist on invalidating them and telling them they should only care about me. That is really what you're saying: My concerns are important; Yours are meaningless. Then there is the fact it's a completely facile point of view. Who cares if 1/3 of American women are beaten and raped. It's not like our lives are worth anything compared to the more important issue of your pocket book.
