    In fact, I argued that intersectionality could work if it embraced individuality and shared humanity as well. In fact, it does not.https://twitter.com/DanielPryorr/status/978294150121521152 …

    Can you see a way in which intersectionality could be compatible with individualism? We're all unique and not entirely reducible to our membership of social categories, but the ways in which those categories of identity impact us and interact matter!

        I missed that, sorry! Agree with you that in practice it tends not to!

        Intersectionalism is fine for art. Lived experience and personal truth are the genesis of art. But while Billie Holiday led a hell of a life that we cant understand, it gave her voice a quality that communicated that life to people who didnt have her history. Songs as bridges.

        It does not because it cannot or it has chosen not to? From what I understand, an acknowledgement of individualism would call into question the legitimacy of rigid identity groups, the way competing 16th century Christian faiths started to realize that none could claim truth.

        about 15 years ago, a proto-SJW described "identity politics" to me. I asked, "How many groups there are, given 10 individuals?" That's 1023. I added that, for 7 billion individuals, the number of "groups" is more than the number of protons in the observable universe.

        You seem to be of the opinion that the stated goals of feminists et al. are their actual goals. Social psychologist like Robert Kurzban and Robin Hanson have shown this to be on the whole unlikely.

        Acknowledging shared humanity among our species would be the death knell for intersectional theory.

        A couple things with which I would take issue in regards to Intersectionality theory and individualism; * it is used a means of establishing oppression hierarchy * it has the presupposition of Frankfurt school dialectic on oppression of the proletariat

        Intersectionality is collectivist at its core. So I cannot see this working regardless. Its an ideology designed to demoize, and create antagonism. Thats it really.
