What are your thoughts?

I've never understood the reason behind intersectionality. It's just humanism with an agenda to shut people up.

It just causes division

It's essentially a way of telling white people to back off as [insert whatever group here] has it worse and it will have that effect until everyone is a victim of someone else so as to not be the oppressors of another.

I can understand the point to an extent, the struggles faced by different groups of the same gender are different, so different solutions may be required, however because the oppression olympics is so big now it just turned into labels that people could put on themselves for a few extra points

"the struggles faced by different groups of the same gender are different, so different solutions may be required". So, this happened in the worker's movement. Their answer was to focus on the problems that were shared first, but then also to **identify with** each others problems as their own even if they didn't have that exact problem. Their answer was *Solidarity*.

Sure intersectionality describes a real thing, but intersectional politics is ass-backwards, with as a concept "you can't identify with my problems because they are not your own".

The intersectional approach is fundamentally hostile to unity, and that isn't just a symptom of oppression olympics.

@PM_ME_UR_PC_SPECS can we continue that meme thread here?

BTW, who is chanty... Big Red?

Yes

She gives me an 'autistic' vibe. I think she is mentally ill withstand a side of extreme anxiety.

So who wants to debate the debating stuff?

Debate what?

How about this

Eh, not sure how to conduct a debate about that xD

Debate about what implications that observation has for society.

For starters I would disagree with the premise as I have seen women do that.

I'm against debates. Objections? :D

But even if it's "more true" what does it mean

I feel derailed

New topic with a less divisive start

"should the drop in men's entry to university be corrected by affirmative action"

oh interesting

No

Affirmative action is an incredibly blunt instrument to correct systemic discrimination. Much of the drop to men's entry into university is the result of men's choices and is not systemic. Even the parts that are systemic tend not to properly fall under the definition of discrimination per se.

no, affirmative action should not exist, if you want to focus certain demographics you should encourage them in other ways, focusing programs in disadvantaged areas
