I think people tend to be afraid of discussing anything which makes then look bad. White women don't want to discuss race, poor men don't want to discuss gender, rich people with disabilities don't want to discuss class etc. We tend to see our own oppressions as paramount and everyone else's as a distraction (even when their particular issue is the topic under discussion) it annoys the heck out of me.
(Sorry I took a while to reply, I was waiting until I had something really insightful to say but then decided that might take a while :D)
