Don't blame me for your sloppy generalizations. You dismissed the discourse wholesale as disingenuous without acknowledging the ongoing valid forms of privilege discourse. Yo mistake.

My mistake. My confusion here spawns from your jumbled "intersectionality vs. multidimensionality" argument which hinges on the baseless assertion that "intersectionality tends to view 'gender' as being synonymous with female." Have fun backing that claim up.

That reductive bullshit is confusing when you go ahead and make intersectio...my bad "multidimensional" arguments like this:

Which I actually agree with. For the most part. Black men being subject to gendered racism (we are) is not proof that we also don't experience male privilege (we do, as evidenced by Black men out-earning Black women by like 8 percent).
