I completely agree with what you're saying. However, on the other hand, "black lives matter" and "feminism" are equally exposed to the "all lives matter" and "equality" rebuttals from people that want to shut them down.

I think some progress could be made if those championing equality made a concerted effort to gain ownership of the "all lives matter" and "equality" slogans/campaigns, and then used that ownership to point out the problems (all lives matter, and black lives are currently being stepped on, etc.)

The problem with that is that people who use egalitarianism or all lives matter don't actually want equality, they want oppressed people to shut up
