Have you researched woman is it's a form of feminism that focuses on the intersectionality of issues such as poverty or racism.

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.
-
Remember, I'm talking about Crenshaw's approach, not the fact of having multi-faceted marginalised identities. The former is what I oppose.
-
I find the approach much less as a rhetorical device but a observation of reality. But that's the difference in our perspectives.
-
Then we're talking about different things. I am talking about the tenets and methods of intersectional feminism.
