I'm not her but maybe it's because she feels strongly about those being oppressed and since she has the platform and ability to speak for those who are not heard she takes that opportunity.

There is a difference, IMHO, between speaking FOR a group and speaking AGAINST a group. Standing up to say a group is oppressed and should be held as equals is not the same as saying a group is lesser and you don't care if they are oppressed.

While all the speech is allowed it is not all the same...to me.
