Angela Davis on Intersectional Feminism

[nikolademitri]

I love the way she speaks as much as what she says, as weird as that may be to say.. There’s just something about her inflection and pacing and tone that really adds to the impact of her words, at least for me. All that aside, yeah, fantastic message. I wish Davis’s take of feminism was the mainstream perspective. Sure, we hear a lot of talk of intersectionality now days, but I feel like the language has been taken up in mainstream/bourgeois feminism, without actually understanding it, and definitely without a class/economic/Marxist dimension.

Dr. Davis is among the great educators and orators of this century!

Thee definition of a luxury belief. And I just love how this ideology lays the groundwork for victim-blaming and gaslighting. Kudos to you Ms. Davis!

Beautiful conversation. Thanks for sharing this

Greatly inspirational! Something else peaks my interest next to the content of her speech. How so does she end her sentences with -ah?

Intersectionality has been a detriment to black men and the black community overall.

[amirmaurer]

To dismiss peoples capabilities on the basis of who was more oppressed seems a little reductive to me.
You can make the connection between race- and genderviolence without dismissing anyone who was not oppressed to a degree you deem worthy.

Every single time I begin to see the strongest of points from someone who appears to comprehend intersectionality and can develop a critique of mainstream feminism they shit on their entire argument by shoehorning capitalism into the conversation, fully displaying their inherent ignorance of how capitalism works, and make a mental gymnastics competition of an argument to try to link it with whatever genuine problem they're attempting to speak about.
And then by NOT going into detail about what exactly capitalism has to do with the topic, they just namedrop it in an attempt to trick the listener into believing this is just some agreed upon fact lmao.
Great respect for Ms. Davis and this is actually THE correct take on intersectionality, but drop the agenda pushing you're literally a pawn for the white man's "Democratic" party
