I genuinely want to understand why a feminist thinks that essentialising gender and obscuring sex is progressive. On twitter I was given this reply...
"Accepting& respecting diversity in expression of social constructs & intersects, oppressive hierarchies are more effectively challenged w greater potential to force power shifts, & is the basis of international human rights law.
Feminism is intersectional, or it isn't feminism."
My take on it is that by saying men who express 'woman' stereotypes are actualy women it dilutes what it means to be a woman and thus flips hierachies and expectations of intersects... Nope! Am utterly lost and this reply strikes me as abject nonsense.
However, I really would like to try and understand and would be grateful of a translation from those wiser than I
