There are so many squirming unclean things I could pull out of this article and hold up to the light, but perhaps the biggest one is the authors' clearly stated reluctance to admit any white males to the intersectionality party.

There are some plausible arguments--eg high-status difficult kids get called autistic, low-status difficult kids go in the prison pipeline--but this article ignores them and goes straight for failed-sophomore-English, got-Masters's-in-Women's-Studies gibberish.
