      Intersectionality is just the view that different forms of discrimination can affect a single individual simultaneously & can't be separated

      This is something that most ppl wld agree with in the same way they agree with core definition of feminism - equality for women.

      However, in practice, this leads to all sorts of other ideas - simplistic ideas of privilege, reversal of hierarchies, identity as paramount

      Restricting PoC & women & LGBTs to certain categories, claiming intersectional values for them all, vilifying them if they don't hold them.

      Reading everything for offence, demanding everyone focus on race, gender & sexuality rather than individuality or shared human experience.

      We can agree that women shld have equality but decline feminism as a much broader phenomenon including ideology & practices we do not share.

      Similarly, we can agree an individual can be subjected to several forms of discrimination but decline the added baggage of intersectionality

      Ppl can have consistent principles which oppose discrimination & advocate gender/racial/LGBT equality w/out taking on either of those.

      I'd call this 'liberal' but know pp who share my values but reject 'liberal' seeing it as associated w the left whilst they are conservative

      I'd call it humanist but know ppl who share these values but reject 'humanist' seeing it as atheist whilst they are religious.

      I could argue with these ppl & insist they are liberals & humanists but this is much less important than promoting the values together.

          So pls do not tell anyone they are feminist or intersectional if they tell you they're not. They know what they're declining & why.

          Desperately wanted to tell a guy he was a humanist this evening. He looked like Erasmus! I think I get what you are saying.
