Intersectionality

Ben Shapiro at Prager U draws our attention to this concept coined and named by Professor Kimberle Krenshaw. The idea is that we are but a sum of the identity groups that we belong to. The more victim groups that we belong to, the higher is our status, and the more valued are our opinions, in the world of intersectionality. These various groups of victims are to intersect or unite so that they can work together to gain justice and equality and fair treatment from their oppressors, most straight, white males.

Shapiro points out that America is the most open and least racist country in the world.

Mavellonialism is the exact opposite to intersectionality. The more individual-living and the more individuated that one becomes, that voice matters more than those less developed and more grouped. Great souls deserve no special treatment, nor a large share of the economic pie, but when they speak, they should be heeded.

Intersectionality--this concept needs to be roundly disregarded and discarded.
