Intersectionality is not 'splitting', that's a very doomer binary way to view it. The only 'splitting' here is the white woman turning on her ally and doing the same thing the man was doing in the first panel.

One big movement can be made up of many small movements, intersectionality is recognising how all these small groups operate together and influence each other. For example a gay black persons experiences are different from a black hetero persons and a gay white persons, yet they can also relate to aspects of each other. So when you fight for your allies, you learn their unique issues and visa versa.

Intersectionality is viewing discrimination as a Venn diagram, but it's the same fight.

Thank you for your explanation. I'll take it in consideration.

It may be a blend of both. Maybe I am seeing a lot of bad lately. Fighting between men and women. Fighting between basically every group there is.

Time to touch some grass I guess.
