I'm not asking for anecdotes, generalizations, assumptions, or victims of individuals.
I'm asking for specific people who have explicitly suffered due to verified systematicly oppressive systems.

Show me the patriarchy boogeyman, not simply a sexist man. Show me the white man putting down the black man, not anecdotes of racist cops and hillbillies. Show gay people being oppressed because heterosexuals exist not because of religious bigotry.

I think you've just described quite well why the problem is such a persistent problem in the first place. It's not something that can be easily compartmentalized, isolated and quarantined. These issues are endemic, and systemic, and they're extremely difficult to deal with precisely because the forms they most often take are forms that we're all too familiar with. The rapist is often the friendly boyfriend whom everyone describes as "the nice guy". The racist is often the police officer who is known for being a well-rounded, level-headed family man. The bigot is often just your average, normal heterosexual who signs onto YouTube or the Project 1999 forums and uses "fag" and "gay" in every post as a derogatory remark.
