English term or phrase: opportunity hoarding unavailable
Women who have been socialized by coercive gender norms to be particularly self-sacrificing might not value their individual selves enough. gooders” might have a similarly self-sacrificing system of values. But there are others who err in the opposite direction: not self-sacrificing enough, for instance, by acting to unfairly advantage their own families while not working politically to make the mechanisms of opportunity hoarding unavailable. In this last case, perhaps anxiety about whether those they love would fare well enough under more egalitarian norms taints how values are formed.

remove the mechanisms that enable people to hoard opportunities
Explanation:
Your term in the question itself doesn't quite make sense syntactically, which might be what's throwing you off (by separating "make" and "available").

If you see it as "to make the mechanisms of opportunity hoarding unavailable.", this might give you somewhat more clarity: it's about making unavailable (i.e. removing, eliminating etc) the mechanisms (i.e. structures, methods) of "opportunity hoarding", or, in other words, the situation where certain individuals have access to a disproportionate quantity of opportunities and privileges.

Explanation:
Your term in the question itself doesn't quite make sense syntactically, which might be what's throwing you off (by separating "make" and "available").

If you see it as "to make the mechanisms of opportunity hoarding unavailable.", this might give you somewhat more clarity: it's about making unavailable (i.e. removing, eliminating etc) the mechanisms (i.e. structures, methods) of "opportunity hoarding", or, in other words, the situation where certain individuals have access to a disproportionate quantity of opportunities and privileges.

Example sentence(s):
  • Opportunity hoarding is essentially a theory about group behaviors that result in restricting some individuals' or groups' access to desirable goods, services, or privileges.
