It would be great it this were captioned.

[@pattygreenberg921]

It is. Hover your cursor over the lower part of the screen and an icon labeled "CC" will appear. Click on it.

Just keep stacking up those oppressed identities. You will find that there is no end to the problems that you’ll find. It is ironic that the speaker makes an analogy to the factions within Christianity, because intersectionality functions just like a religion. I am going to call a spade a spade here: intersectional feminism is a religion.
