The test has had almost 30 years to develop
The general problem that I see in both the test and the problem it's designed to solve is this mental shortcut of an either/or grouping. Male/female, pass/fail.
But if it helps some people start dialogue then that's wonderful, at the same time I think the intersectionalist feminists deserve some positive attention for searching out new ways to get the conversations going.

I'm confused that you say this, but do not actually link any such ways. I'd personally be happy to give them some positive attention, but feminism isn't something I spend much time on so I don't know the latest stuff going on.
- stolio 13y agoThat's fair, I've just had positive personal experiences with the intersectionalists IRL. As a guy, I've felt the conversations have been less adversarial and more productive. I can say it's a more nuanced critique of privilege then say radical feminism, but whether my positive experiences are rooted in a better theory or just in the people attracted to it I don't really know.
