It's impossible to say anything of substance in 280 chars without generalising. Instead, one can only make caricatures of points, in the hope that others can find in them entertainment, and perhaps a deeper, implied truth.

Sure, it can be entertaining if you're familiar with the nuances of approaches like postmodernism & intersectionality. The fact is many don't in which case there's a danger of your caricature taken as truth, which is damaging, rather than mere entertainment.

What is the rule here? Nonetheless, I don't think I implied you refrain. Not my intention. For what's it's worth, I'd suggest you familiarize yourself with postmodernism (which is very broad with extreme ends) and intersectionality as I don't find your portrayal accurate.

Okay, this is the kind of conversation I would have normally ignored as underlying motivations usually to catch the other/play 'gatcha' game or even disrespectful scorn but since you insist, I'll assume that your intentions are positive & you genuinely want to know what I think.
