Me, on the problem with intersectionality if inclusion, diversity and social justice are what you want.https://twitter.com/areomagazine/status/831883026539884545 …

Intersectionality attempted to fix a gap in liberalism by foregrounding group identity but lost all sense of shared humanity & individuality
-
This is a nice way of summing it up. I was first drawn to intersectionality because I felt their premises - that ppl of
-
different identity can have vastly different experiences and sometimes liberalism fail to take that into account - is a good
-
observation; unfortunately in practice, such reasonable premise degenerates into utterly ridiculous standards and sometimes
-
outright hypocrisy. And I couldn't stand that any longer. I refused to think that I MUST identify with my ethnicity more than
-
my humanity.

And that really is at the core of it. You lose personhood for blackness, Asianness, femaleness, gayness etc. Too high a price.

@SabrinaLianne I hear your point but, those aren't mutually exclusive things. The former is a label, the latter is an action. -
Yes, I think action in the form of criticism is more useful than taking on an 'anti' identity.
-
they aren't mutually exclusive. I'm a self identified anti-feminist, because I'm critical of feminism 1/

You have a disability? More importantly..... You're bi?!?!
-
Yes. I have a cyst on my brain causing visual and co-ordination problems. And rarely, epilepsy. And occasional stroke-like thing.
-
Oh dear. I assume it's not a malignant cyst that can lead to worse than visual problems. Mrs Lotak has auras every so often.
-
No. Just fluid on outside of brain.

Same difference atm, imho. Modern feminism is a problem, modern SJW's are too, & Milo goes into Why all the time.
-
There's a difference between taking on an 'anti' identity & action. You can do both but latter is what works

@SabrinaLianne feminists and SJW's are the problems -
It's BECAUSE I oppose ID politics/intersectionality that I'm a feminist.https://twitter.com/IonaItalia/status/829676025508343813 …

say egalitarian instead then. No implication of female supremacy in that label
-
I'll say exactly what I wish, thanks.
-
PS There's no implication of 'female supremacy' in the label. It simply implies that I feel women
-
& men are not equal worldwide and this is unjust & shd be changed in all relevant cases.
-
please. Modern feminism is not about equality. It's female supremacy vagina cult.
-
'Modern feminism' is a problem. Individual feminists may or may not be.
