      Insisting one definition is the only tue definition when others exist is a bit silly. Here's the thing: Definitions are a social construct 😉pic.twitter.com/BFIKneVSLm

      That is what I am saying too. I don't think we disagree on anything.https://twitter.com/HPluckrose/status/900787900220133376 …

      I don't even care that much that they use the word differently. It's pretending not to know that others are using the standard definition... https://twitter.com/jayphonic/status/900787557239185412 …

      I think we just disagree about how badly discourse has been infected by PoMo. And I have very little time for PoMo

      Probably. I know many people feel that PoMo is dead coz they're talking abt the high deconstructive phase, not the ensuing critical theory.

      I don't think it's dead, but I also don't think critical theory is useless. In the same way I'm influenced by Marx but I'm not a Marxist.

      We might differ on its usefulness. I'd like intersectional ideas incorporated into a liberalism which values shared humanity & individuality

      Crenshaw gave a talk about the corruption of the definition of intersectionality recently, and you've reminded me to go look for it.

      I saw it. But the foundational essays were pretty bad.

      I haven't read them, but I understand the basic ideas. When I hear how awful intersectionality is I wonder what definition is being used 1/-

      I've spent 2yrs reading about the intersection between class & race in the US. So am I supposed to give up? Ignore it? 2/3

      That's up to you. Sunk-cost fallacy isn't a good reason to keep using it but that doesn't mean there isn't one.

          There is a good reason. Data. But before we get to discussing that it's rejected by many because intersectional. Which is bad.

          Data isn't intersectional.

          I'm not saying it is. It's data. I get a different picture if I look at general employment data vs race specific data for example.

          OK, well that's evidence then. Don't need critical theory for that. I'm not sure where this is going but I need to go to bed. :)

          My point is there's an issue. What caused it? How do we address it? Before we even get to that we're met with resistance.
