By analogy, do you find the statement "the tech industry is hostile to women" also insulting to women?

My problem is when ppl conflate a particular ideology pertaining to a group in society with that group & assume it to represent them.

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.

What I mean is: it affects every instance of talking about women as a diverse group. Every intersection with 'woman' is also 'woman'.

I don't know what that means.
