Who is worse: intersectionalists or TERFs?

TERFS, obviously. Their philosophy is fundamentally bankrupt. Intersectionalism has its idiots, but is positive on the whole.

Or at least I would hope so, since I am intersectional.

Wait, intersectionalism is considered bad by people who aren't right-wingers? I thought that just meant acknowledging that different forms of discrimination can overlap with each other.

That's what it means in theory but in practice it means complaining about white people wearing hoop earrings or dreadlocks or eating Chinese food.

If by in practice, you mean a handful of people, sure.

It's actually really funny how single incidents get more attention than they should. The reality is a lot more complex. I encourage you to watch Contrapoints on YouTube, specifically his take on cultural appropriation (spoiler: he agrees with you).

Even in it's literal form, intersectionalism kind of falls flat in so many respects for me. For example, under it you'd have to either accept that Milo Yiannopoulos is not a bigot, or that he is but he's truly just another victim of the patriarchy deep down. It doesn't make any sense.

Because he's gay.

No one's claiming that.  Gay people can be misogynistic or racists just like straight people.

And this 'victim of patriarchy' isn't an excuse. Sure, he's been negatively affected by it, but you can't hand wave racism and pederasty because of society.
