@Jairo_I_Funez Not defending Crenshaw's garbage politics but the way the term intersectionality is colloquially used now is much broader than what intersectionality theory was ever intended to describe. It is a framework designed to understand oppressive legal paradigms in the US, specifically.

@Jairo_I_Funez I guess my point is im not surprised her politics suck because intersectionality theory is extremely limited in scope and we should probs stop crediting her with the more expansive and inclusive definition of the word intersectionality which is diff from the definition she coined

Rosemary Amico @Jairo_I_Funez That's a totally fair point, she opened herself up to additional criticism, & I do think that criticism is warranted. I suppose my point is just that we evolved beyond the scope of her theory & politics, as opposed to like... Her backsliding & becoming a hypocrite or smth.

Teaching term is approaching & maybe its time to recommend the Critical Legal Pocketbook to your freshfaced new law students? Fairly cheap paperback& pay what you can ebook-its a really helpful text to help them see through the politics of their law degree criticallegalthinking.com/2021/11/08/the…
