Intersectionality

Standard

I need to know more, read more, listen more. Same goes for works on the prison industrial complex. I will say that attempts to appropriate Intersectionality in the name of white feminism are dubious at best. While the implications of Intersectionality run deep enough that parallel analyses rooted in poly-plural systems of oppression are most likely inevitable, hijacking it for any reason is out of bounds, in my book. It’s also lazy organizing; this whole idea that you can “borrow” something and use it as some sort of collective stake post doesn’t work. That’s not the main point though – appropriation is.

PS: As a call to action – inferred or otherwise – “white feminism” is both supremacist and oxymoronic. Consider how flat-out wrong something like “white marxism” sounds. I mean, seriously.
