Seriously, tho. Anytime someone says "women and people of color," it's a huge sign that they haven't done intersectionality 101.

@gayle In terms of the right wording, why not say white women, women of color, and men of color? -
@aurabogado From http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Intersectionality … "Just because you are female, or disabled, or a person of colour, or a fat person" Is that bad? -
@gayle So, I'm specifically referring to what I'm referring to, which is that "women and people of color" leaves someone like me out.

@aurabogado Sure, I get that impact matters. (Although intent matters a lot when you start *ascribing* beliefs to the speaker.) -
@gayle The belief I'm ascribing is that "women and people of color," means someone doesn't understand intersectionality. I think it's valid. -
@aurabogado Consider a statement like "white people and men are often unaware of their privilege". Doesn't this include white men? -
@gayle I'm reading these other examples you're providing as a derail to my original argument: I think I deserve to be seen. -
@aurabogado However, when you tell me what must be going on in my head — that I disagree with. Because you're incorrect. -
@gayle Umm... So you understand intersectionality yet question why "women and people of color" is problematic? Ok. -
@aurabogado When I say "X and Y are ___", I am absolutely including things that are both X and Y. -
@gayle Where X is women and where Y is people of color.... - 6 more replies
