      I think its helpful to think of us as operating on 3 levels. As part of the human race, as part of various cultural groups, as individuals. https://twitter.com/Gil_Ant/status/878962478553726976 …

      Liberalism has traditionally focused on shared human experience & individuality. Intersectionality focuses on group identity & experience.

      It intended to remedy a lack of focus on this but in the process, in practice, often loses sight of the other two.

      And ends up being collectivist, divisive & restrictive. That doesn't mean the gap in liberalism it spotted wasn't there.

          I still feel that it's most important as a society to support individuality & foster unionality & that group identity shouldn't matter.

          But if it does matter in reality - if discrimination exists - then attention on this is needed but shldn't require divisive collectivism.

          Why shouldn't it? Because the majority can always be persuaded by minorities when it comes to the factuality of oppression?

          Huh? I'm not even sure how this relates?

          It relates to the question how discrimination is discovered, seen as worth fixing, and to the question whose attention is required to fix it

          In what way does it relate?

          How would requiring a group to isolate, resist individuality or shared experience with outgroups help minorities to convince majorities?

          Doesn't this result in minorities within minorities being vilified - see liberal, LGBT & ex-Muslims - & hinder communication between groups?
