What's wrong with intersectionality? Or more specifically, what's preventing intersectionality from being compatible with radical feminism?

well, maybe you're fine with the well being of TIMs, Muslim males, black males, pimps being considered ever before the well being of females. feminists invented intersectionality, then intersectionality made feminism a minor struggle and not "urgent" according to some so called "feminists" themselves and you don't see the problem with intersectionality?

Is it the duty of feminism to fight against "transphobia" or "islamophobia", or "racism" at the expense of the fight against misogyny and fighting sexual violence? Should a white woman shut up about her rape if a black man rapes her because "white women are privileged"? And you don't see the issue with "intersectionality"? that is that different intersectional struggles can be at odd with one another? after all trans rights can only be fulfilled if they walk all over women's rights.

Now you might argue, that's not what intersectionality is at first place, well it doesn't matter, that's what people who used intersectionality for their own agenda managed to turn intersectionality into. How is it that you're reclaiming that definition now? If you claim radical feminism is "diverse and inclusive", then "intersectionalists" will argue that it isn't inclusive of TIMs.

Don't you get it? That word is tainted.
