This scenario is explicitly about a hypothetical oppressed group. Some parts of it are explicitly motivated by gender discussions, many parts of the scenario are not supposed to be analogous.
In meshing together multiple issues there is risk that you think of interactions of phenomena that actually do not interact because they are part of different series of events.
For example genders are way more economically integrated than countries. But genders also usually don’t have leadership hierarchies. Usually hypotheticals work by cutting out stuff that is inessential to the central logic of the phenomen making it easier to see and reason about. If you just slap together random mechanics taht might or migth not be relevant its going to be a very unintuitive franksteins of fact and fiction where you don’t know which part is which.
There is something to the idea of appriciating how several social effects work together to make systems and complex outcomes. And about discovering social effects that are in effect that are not obvious. But trying to make both at once seems more like a recipe for confusion rather than clarity.
Women and men tend to live in each other proximity and atleast have occasional contact. You don’t in the same way spatially mix different states.
There are some effects where for example nurses can have disproportionally female composition. But even in such a setting the nurses might be regularly interacting with doctors which don’t have the same kind of gender skew. How the nurses conduct themselfs might have very practical signifcance to possibly male doctors.
However things need to play out rather wonkily if a corporation has employess in two states. And one state can fix signficant laws that don’t have any impact on the other state (as they don’t hold there). There are some effects where for example some criminals find mexico to be a easy drug production place and the US a handy market for them. But these tend to be less intensive and don’t reac tto each other so well.

Oh, I see what you meant.
