Problems unique to lower class women, lesbians, women of color, non binary persons, etc., aren't addressed or even considered without a commitment to intersectionality and the distinct issues inherent there.

In order to at least give a nod to the topic of this thread, it makes me smile to see how important I think intersectionality is to feminism.

Wrong.

All women got the right to vote under the 19th amendment passed in 1920.

Black men got the right to vote under the 15th amendment passed in 1870.

Seriously folks, learn some history.
