Our fascination with intersectionality (especially on the political left though common enough among race essentialists on the right) — the idea that identities overlap in ways that produce discrimination or privilege — is one of the most caustic parts of our age. Everyone has identifying characteristics, and those who subscribe to intersectionality compare these characteristics in a duel to the bottom to decide who is the most oppressed. It’s dumb, for one, but it’s also terribly divisive — and self-indulgent. By doing so, we highlight our incompatibilities rather than what mutual bonds exist.
