FFS, The Age. Must we keep associating 'women' with a deeply irrational brand of regressive feminism rejected by the majority of women? https://twitter.com/Metamagician/status/878886458764832768 …

Yep. I understand your point now.
-
Thanks. I think everyone does in most areas but many have blind spots.
-
eg It's very rare for people to believe both that intersectional feminism represents women & Islamism represents Muslims.
-
We all see the problems with generalising in most areas but make an exception when invested in a cause.
-
What makes certain positions special is that they represent philosophical stances. This applies to intersectionality as well as liberalism.
-
You often make assertions about the universality of liberal values. Similar: an intersectional conception of womanhood assumes universality.
-
It does? Not in my experience.
-
What I mean is: it affects every instance of talking about women as a diverse group. Every intersection with 'woman' is also 'woman'.
