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 …

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.
