While my beliefs are closer to intersectionalism, most intersectionalists just practice Oppression Olympics to rip each other apart, and are really driven by a need to employ hate speech for the sake of virtue signaling. It is completely vile. The TERFs, while I disagree with them the same way I would disagree with same-sex marriage opponents, at least are honest about their bigotry. Which makes them relatively ineffectual. The bigotry of the intersectionalists is far more insidious because it is hidden beneath layers of pseudo-academic gobbleygook. It goes on for years and years without ever being challenged. They also use authoritarian tactics and have succeeded in turning thousands if not millions of young people into anti-SJW backlash and Alt Right.

     I more or less agree with this. TERFs are terrible, but they are also outdated and nearly irrelevant at this point. It's not a coincidence that the most prominent one is 78 now. Intersectionalists have much more opportunity to cause damage down the road.

Even in it's literal form, intersectionalism kind of falls flat in so many respects for me. For example, under it you'd have to either accept that Milo Yiannopoulos is not a bigot, or that he is but he's truly just another victim of the patriarchy deep down. It doesn't make any sense.
What

Because he's gay.

     Intersectionality only cares about women/minorities/LGBT so long as they agree with intersectionality. Going against it gets you punted right off the progressive stack.
