    I am really looking forward to his and Helen Pluckrose's new book. They break this shit down like none other.

    It's really frustrating, because intersectionality is actually a useful tool. I was recently studying anti discrimination law, and there's some good criticisms about how it overwhelmingly helps women who are already pretty well off. You need to have access to the institutions that enforce discrimination law, and intersectionality cuts people off. You see it with black women, where a claim has to be made on grounds of sex OR race. Show that policies allow for white women and black men, and it's all good.
