I don't think I anticipated how many leftists have the same fundamental views on intersectionality as the right does, just with some bullshit Marx said sprinkled on top.Permalink On twitter.com

I used to be as reactionary as they come. I used to think that Anita Sarkeesian was a raving lunatic coming for my rights. I used to think intersectionality was burning a tire on a college campus because of a problematic Halloween costume....Permalink On twitter.com
