Count me with those who embrace Crenshaw's original concept. Understanding how multiple types of discrimination impact different women is important to feminism.

However, in practice it has been used to browbeat women into centering everyone else's issues to the point we're never allowed to actually just focus on issues that impact women. Every other oppressed group is allowed to focus on their own issues. Women are not.
