I think we'd consider ourselves that!

I suspect there are other reasonable peopke who disagree with you.

Yes, but if they disagree with me on the issues & values I hold, I can't coherently consider them reasonable on those issues & values. If I did, I'd change my own to them & we'd no longer be in disagreement. I could find them reasonable more broadly if we disagree on one thing.

We disagree. I take it we are able to do so because of reasonableness and not despite it.

I have not heard any arguments from you for intersectionality. I have no idea what your reasoning abilities are like. So far, I only know that you are polite and have not said anything unreasonable.

I agree with Crenshaw's use of the term. I think it misleading to paint it as an ideology invading humanities departments. I think social justice and identity politics ought not be used as derisive descriptions--and that being unreasonable and irrational are different things.

OK, then we disagree. I don't think politics linked to postmodern theory is the way to go and that universality should be abandoned for group identity. I've written several essays on how it's invading universities & the last time I spoke at one about it, I got protested.

I'm not a postmodernist, It's possible to take intersectionality seriously without abandoning liberalism. Again, I'm literally on a watchlist created by a conservative group sponsoring at least one of your events on a university campus.

OK, but Crenshaw was and this permeates intersectionality. If you have a liberal version of it, it's probably similar to the one I posited in my conclusion.

Again, your being on a Turning Point watchlist might tell us something about them or something about you or both but it doesn't tell us whether intersectionality is taking on a quasi-religious status in parts of society & especially in academia.

It just seems like a "You shouldn't talk to these people because they don't like me" argument which I don't accept. I will talk to everybody and I will evaluate your criticisms of them and theirs of you on their merits.
