Like being able to commit crimes without going to jail or having a sentence 60% lower than men? Like not losing your children in divorce?

Actually intersectionality has involved into an identity such as I'm not black and a woman but I'm a black woman as a whole self.
-
It's more than a rhetorical approach it's a reality of many people born within two marginalized identities.
-
I'm talking about the approach. That is what I am not a fan of. People with multi-faceted marginalised identities can choose it or not.
-
I can't choose it. My blackness is inseparable from my womanhood and the duality of it effects me differently than black men or white women.
-
You don't have to choose an intersectional approach to address this. Most WoC don't.
-
The WOC I know have always acknowledged their intersectionality as an added layer of adversity & important factor in all social debates.
-
OK, but most WoC haven't even heard of Crenshaw or read her approach, don't value postmodernism or identity politics.
-
Black woman don't need to read Crenshaw to know what intersectionality is bc they lived and experienced it.

Well I can't "not be a fan" because it's my reality and what's effected my experiences the most in the world. You do understand that?
-
No. Its an approach. You can choose to address racism & sexism using it or you can go with liberalism.
