I know several feminists and several black victimhood junkies. One common thread behind both of them is that they love telling harrowing tales of the patriarchy/white supremacy in action. Another common thread is that those stories make them look insane unless viewed through the lens of victim culture.
The feminist stories are always "there's this creepy guy near me at the mall and I'm pretty sure he wants to rape me like omg #metoo someone help creeper alert". Nothing ever actually happens to them, they just make up a rape fantasy and then act like it's real.
The black victimhood stories are always either "so I was going 100 in a 60 and this cop pulls me over, obviously because I'm black" or "I did not get exactly what I wanted when I wanted it, obviously because I'm black". They have no real evidence of oppression, but they believe everything bad that happens to them, even if it's their own fault, can only possibly be explained by racism.
It's really no surprise that privileged white women latched onto BLM with such fervor. They felt a kinship with their fellow deluded narcissists.
Interestingly, nearly everyone I know speeds, and egregiously at that. I don't like it, but that's not really relevant.
The interesting part is that when most non-black people - and the black people who weren't suckered into BLM - get pulled over and get a ticket, their attitude is usually like "well, knew that was going to happen". They break the law, pay the price, then break the law again. No idea why, but whatever I guess.
It's only the BLM types and certain kinds of "fuck you dad you can't tell me what to do" whites that actually get angry when they get pulled over for very obviously doing something wrong. They know they were speeding, they know they shouldn't be speeding, yet when the cop writes them a ticket they're sure they're being hassled by the man.
Want to make a feminist head explode? Show them the stats on sex trafficking in the US.
I’m sure they will ignore it because the nerdy guy that asked her to have coffee with him is much more serious.

Ding ding ding. In my experience saying something like “well were you breaking the law”? Just causes anger

I just don't get it.
