One thing that& #39;s always bothered me is the "I& #39;m/they& #39;re more of a victim/oppressed than you because of & #39;x/y/z& #39; so shut up and listen". It pushes incomparable individual life experiences into a clear cut hierarchy where if you have certain priveleges, your grievances should -

- no longer be taken seriously. There are millionaires driven to alcoholism and suicide through weight of expectation and people not taking their cries for help seriously because they have money, and people on the breadline who are barely scraping by but loved and happy. -

- In short, there are so many factors which influence a person& #39;s life that nobody can be defined and their worthiness of help quantified so simply. This intersectional obsession with hierarchies of oppression is frankly dangerous and invariably has the opposite effect to that -

- purpotedly intended. Yes, groups who aren& #39;t given an equal footing absolutely need to be given the same representation and consideration, but you proceed as you mean to go on, by treating them as they are, individual human beings of equal worth and equally complex life stories
