I’m sure I’ve asked this before, but I don’t remember receiving interesting answers. Can anyone help me find a 1) coherent and 2) compelling case for intersectionality? Serious replies please.
I think 'intersectionality' just means that oppression across identity categories (sex, race, class, etc) can be additive, or sometimes non-additive. Seems hard to refute, since it's statistically unfalsifiable.

Can’t it be? If intersectional theorists claim black women are more oppressed than black men - wouldn’t (for ex) data on BW’s relative societal success counter that claim?

So much of a no-brainer, that I am legitimately wondering if I’m missing something.

It just means that in victim poker, it's the hand that counts, not just one card.

It’s a race to see who the bigger victim is. Their “truth” matters more than yours.

And, in fact, isn't just false? The intersectional theorist would predict, from what I understand, that prejudice against black women would be higher than against black men (because woman + man). But that is almost certainly incorrect.
