I think the term "intersectionality" is grossly misused, and many anti-mras misuse the theory to stigmatize and discriminate.

I recently wrote this as part of a review on a social work paper...

I don't think most people understand the theory of intersectionality – I take it to mean - if you have a huge grid of issues (+ve "privileges", -ve "oppressions", I dislike these terms) everyone has a combination of these.

"Aboriginal, white, female, disabled, age" are not in the grid.

To be more "just" - you can try to identify your own issues and realize that others have different sets of issues, but you have no right to prejudice other individuals by associating issues to them.

You can not morally assume anyone else has a particular set of these issues, to do so would be prejudice.

From a statistical perspective, you can note that populations are more likely to face an issue, but applying that to individuals neglects people outside that population, and stigmatizes that population – leading to "isms" resulting in a mis-association with causation – "they're indigenous, that's why they are homeless"

anyways, just thought i'd share... thoughts?
