Forcing uniformity of thought

Consider a number of issues, more exactly, specific positions on a range of issues:

pro-feminist, anti-capitalist, pro-choice, pro-queer, pro-children, pro-trans, pro-marxism

Here we see seven issues and seven positions on those issues.

If someone takes one of those positions, why should that person take the other six positions on that list?

To my mind those are seven independent issues.

(Although of course there is an almost by definition relation between Marxism and opposition to capitalism.)

Well, some people are arguing that those are not independent issues, but are somehow magically linked.

They use the word "intersectionality" to describe this.

"feminism is anti-capitalist, is pro-choice, pro-queer, pro-children, pro-trans, pro-marxism, pro-awareness. the minute you remove one, something is off. it’s all or nothing, feminism is intersectional!"

So if you are a feminist, you have to take all those positions?

Well, okay, if that's what women want to believe, who I to tell them otherwise.

I find some of these discussions slightly amazing.

I guess I just don't get it.
