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.

No, you can choose to apply Crenshaw's approach to it or not. Most WoC don't. They're less likely to support LGBT rights, for example.
