A conspiracy. Intersectionals don't hate radfems but are radfems in disguise - don't really believe in intersecting frameworks of privilege. https://twitter.com/the_tru_fool/status/850887820159877120 …
Has Crenshaw focused much on class apart from when affecting ppl with a marginalised identity?

Not that I have seen. This class inclusive intersectionalism is mostly happening in progressive left, Socialist, Marxist, Anarchist circles.
-
Ah. You're from that school of thought. It was Crenshaw who coined the term & then critical race theory & it is this branch I refer to.
-
Did the radical left have their own definition of intersectionality from the start or did it adopt the term & apply it more fully?
-
For a lot of these center-leftists, discussion of class is not only taboo because of ID politics, but also because they are capitalist.
-
I think we have a different conception of centre-leftism. I see the radical left & the PoMo left as 'far' but different branches of far.
-
And the centre/moderate left (me) as old-style universal liberals with a more culturally libertarian but economically leftist bent.
-
I think this is why two-axis spectrum is better. Mixing up left-right dichotomy with libertarian-authoritarian dichotomy creates confusion.
-
But it is the political reality. Its the Left that's been screwed up by identity politics and cultural relativity.
