We can window-dress whichever way you like but most people only act in their own interests. Best example is the Serbian prime minister, paradoxically a lesbian in a very homophobic country. She's not too eager to act on behalf of the LGBTQ community. Not because she hates them but because she knows where her fat paychecks come from. Many women are existentially blackmailed into supporting whoever can provide them with a stable income. Here, ethics is a luxury for those with silver spoons in their mouths. We liberals tend to forget that.
