Intersectionality

Is putting on make up to make yourself look less hot on Halloween an act of cultural appropriation?

Arise ye starvlings from your sunbeds!

 

[Combustible]

Is this hyperbole on your part or has anyone with any kind of intersectional authority said this?

I think there was a link in the LP/Commentariat thread of someone saying that the (white) LGBT activists who heckled Michelle Obama should check their privilege and stop trying to silence a woman of colour. How the person who said this measures up in the progressive stack I do not know.

Spin spin spin the wheel of oppression
See how fast the bastard turns!

Oona King supporters came out with similar guff about anyone who was prepared to stand against her.

Full house..? Or do your +ves and - ves cancel each other out?

So did Paxman...

Far too complicated. We need to use the Scratchcard of Oppression.

Oh my. I'm still trying to get to grips with the stack thing...

So all intersectionality is saying is that we should abandon the Newtonian view of oppression and the search for the One True Force of social r(e)volution; recognise that we have a multi-dimensional state space; and acknowledge that a Hamiltonian operator on this space is necessary to evaluate the potential - something that we might approximate for the plebs with the term "rhizomatic analysis"?

D'oh.

wheel of (mis)fortune.

 

[Wilf]

A Leninist and somewhat prudish response to the Wheel of Misfortune

Actually looking again it's not a full house; I'm an ugly, 51 year old with a vasectomy.

Once you gooone, you can't never come back. When you're out of the red and into the black

More to the picture, than meets the eye. Hey hey, my my

Vasectomies - false consciousness of the winkle.

 

[Jean-Luc]

Doesn't it refer to people who think they are suffering from Multiple Identity Disorder?

 

[frogwoman]

when do you stop being young according to the wheel?

 

[BigTom]

when do you stop being young according to the wheel?

All self-defined. You stop being young when you decide you are not young anymore.

 

[frogwoman]

All self-defined. You stop being young when you decide you are not young anymore.

my grandma would have to go to the back then with her "I'm 21 and some months"

 

[JimW]

All self-defined. You stop being young when you decide you are not young anymore.

But in a structural way

 

[frogwoman]

and how come female and feminine is a privilege but female isn't?

 

[frogwoman]

anyway how is being young a privilege, given that young people are more likely to be in part time insecure work or on the dole, and given that the minimum wage is less if you're under 21?

and i haven't actually tried to have kids so i don't know if i'm fertile or not, but that's bollocks too. What about employers who get around rules on maternity leave and just get rid of the person before they come back or ask prospective applicants if they're going to have kids?

 

[frogwoman]

its worse than blacking up

women putting makeup on to make themselves look more attractive must be an act of cultural appropriation as well because they're (a self defining as ugly group, even if they're not) trying to appropriate te characteristics of the non ugly group

Yeah, but it's great when you're at an Ivy League college and the most right-on dudester there.
