Don't be that person who reads a lengthy analysis of intersectionality which goes back to the source, calls on many others, engages with recent analyses, identifies three main problems and details them at length and then says,https://twitter.com/light_rook/status/994276397441990656 …
Well, it does. That's why the liberal left and the libertarian left and to some extent to radical and Marxist left are opposing it. These are accurate criticisms of intersectionality which are being made by lefties too.

sorry, twitter is squashing a lot of my attempted nuance here: there's a particular framework that's popular on the left, one in which intersectionality makes sense, that he's addressing here
-
That will be the postmodern left. The rest of us are trying to fix that.
-
it's broader than that. sure, the sort of sloppy thinking encouraged by early postmodernist though is easy to spot and object to, but again, discussions of intersectionality aren't limited to a pomo framework

Crenshaw is. 'Intersectionality is a framework linking contemporary politics with postmodern theory.' If you're talking about it in another sense, you could be right. Author specifies her version tho. I have to go and work tho. I'll leave you with this.https://areomagazine.com/2018/02/07/no-postmodernism-is-not-dead-and-other-misconceptions/ …

ah, yeah, I think, as most things born in academia, the seminal work is usually wrong in almost every way, which makes reading Crenshaw not a very useful exercise for this.
-
Well, I think it does because it is her version that is being used in the identity politics, diversity & inclusion narrative of the SocJus left. I attached my essay explaining this and now I really must work.
