"Intersectional lens" This is where ivory-tower geniuses divide and sub-divide us into smaller and smaller, unique groups, because they'd prefer to ignore centuries of wisdom that culminated in the Enlightenment and notions of individual rights.
I think it's kind of cute that they're trying to de-construct Western Civilization in this way, but it's alarming/disappointing/utterly boring that our supposedly best minds can't see the obvious logical end-point of these endeavors: There exist inalienable individual rights that existed before and that supersede any human-organized temporal authority (government).
What makes it cute is how smart, yet willfully obtuse, these geniuses are. What makes is sad is that this level of obtuseness is detrimental to society. But this is what humans do from time to time. Stupid ideas take on a life of their own and sweep through the culture. We look back and see this repeated, over and over, throughout history, but we never can see it when it's happening in real time. I don't know why. I see it. But I'm a mathematician, and so I'm trained to follow a line of reasoning to its bitter end. One of the first things they teach you is that if a premise leads to an absurd conclusion, the premise is false. I see absurd conclusions all around me, but I see no one questioning their original assumptions that led them inevitably to this "surprise ending" or "unintended consequence."
No. Either you're stupid, lazy, or you intended that consequence.
