I disagree with this. I have had some pretty bitter disputes with radfems.
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.
-
Seems more a problem for centrists than the far left. On the far left, identity politics are widely reviled and relativism not even present.
-
The radical far-left. Identity politics and relativism is the other far-left. The centrists also revile them.
-
Those who are practicing ID politics and relativism here are not economically left. They are often even center-right, like Hillary.

The type of people who lauded Hillary Clinton wanted intersectionalism to only refer to the intersection of gender and race.
-
Simplistic. I'm English but nearly every American I know wanted Clinton & they're not fans of intersectionality.
-
You probably had a pretty narrow cross-section then. She has been widely despised here for awhile. Abysmal approval ratings.
-
There was a certain 'lesser of two evils' thing going on for many, I do admit.

It's hard to say when it started, but it has become pretty well absorbed at this point. Many more moderate leftists have refused to engage.
