-Without recognizing oppression intersectionally, we can never resist all oppression. Elements of our social position may put us in a position to be oppressed, but simultaneously all of us are privileged enough to be debating here right now – putting us in a position to be an oppressor. Without recognizing all the ways in which someone can perpetuate oppression, even if simultaneously a victim, we overlook that instance of domination. |
