a lot of abuse is facilitated by a significant disparity in power between people. that's why children are often victims of abuse. that's why when women have no financial independence they're at a much higher risk of abuse. people can leverage their position in society to abuse others, such as between a white person and their black partner, or between richer and poorer people. and there are ways to mitigate the power disparity in many of these situations, or work towards it. at the end of the day there's no significant physical or psychological difference between men and women, their differences in power are socially imposed and structurally enforced. that's why it's so essential to maintain the rights of women and girls to education, employment, freedom of movement, financial independence, inheritance, etc. because to lack these things is to have your whole life reliant on the good will of other people. but for disabled people it feels difficult for me to know what direction to go in. because there is a difference between disabled people and abled people. thr inability to perform on par with abled people is a key aspect of disability. and yet it is the unavoidable need for disabled people to rely on others that makes us as a group so vulnerable to abuse. and i think that's why advocating for disability rights comes with unique issues that don't easily map to other marginalised groups other than say, children.
