So TERFs are hypocrites and intersectionalists are idiots. Idk, I think both are pretty bad

(I had no idea what a TERF was until two minutes ago. They sound kind of silly)

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.

The theory of intersectionalism is not bad in and of itself. It's actually, for sociology, a very sound principle with merits

What's bad is the people who use it to either A) shut down critics for the crime of "privilege" B) hypercharge identity politics into something extreme rather than something that can benefit communities of mutual interest.

Sort of like communism's famous quote: "great idea, wrong species"
