Feminism is to patriarchy as colonialism is to .... ?

Yes, I know IABU in putting this here, sorry.

Hoping someone clever is going to come along and find the missing word I need!

I think it's the ableist hegemony?

Here's a wikipedia about hegemony. In parts it seems to fit what you are looking for, I think.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hegemony

That clarifies it a great deal but much like you I am stuck on the actual correct terminology. Perhaps ignorance?

tabulahrasa makes a very salient point, I hadn't considered that way. It is very much a nascent movement.

Tbh, I think disablism is one of the last remaining forms of 'acceptable' discrimination. Especially so as many disabilities are not obvious and indeed if they are it's often treated with suspicion, patronising attitudes and general ignorance.

I think the thing that brought it home for me was when I think it was Iain Duncan Smith (might not have been him, but it sounds like something he'd say) talked about letting people with disabilities work for less than minimum wage...and people agreed with him that it was a valid idea because people with disabilities were being discriminated against and it might help them get employment.

My thinking on it was you don't get rid of discrimination by adding to it and I was really surprised how many people wouldn't even acknowledge that that's what that was.

It seems a lot of people just didn't have an issue with someone receiving less money for the same job purely because that had a disability.

I have recently moved from having an invisible disability to a very visible one, and a lot of stuff to do with social attitudes is becoming uncomfortably real for me.

Have you noticed a remarkable difference in people's attitudes when your disability was invisible to now when it's visible?

I have always found there was one. And it was quite alarming.
