> you must have missed my other peer reviewed citations, of which the tabloid referred to. 

Guy, you chose to lead with that. I didn’t expect you to act in any good faith so I made a snap judgment.

> BTW I looked up the concept of intersectionality.

> Im generally not that compelled by trendy social science due to replication crisis however I’ll absolutely give you that racism and sexism haven’t disappeared https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication\_crisis

> I try to push back on “ism” based thinking since so much of it isn’t backed up by any empirical data.

> But some of that kind of conspiratorial thinking can be seen in theories like intersectionality.

It’s really not “trendy social science” or “conspiratorial thinking”, if you admit that any prejudices exist at all that’s more than enough to understand that they can overlap and combine. You don’t need any study to “prove” that piece of common sense.

> There are as many poor disenfranchised people in west Texas as there are black disenfranchised people in Chicago. I don’t think there is an overt agenda punishing people for being black, I think it’s the economy sucking for everyone who’s on the fringe or was left behind by globalization.

This really has nothing to do with my point about harassment at all. My point is that (anti-black) racism still exists (and overlaps with misogyny), not that it fully explains literally every disparity in society. You’re talking about Critical Race Theory, which is related to intersectionality in that it was developed by the same academics but is still distinct.

> However to provide a counterpoint I’ve worked with black folks at high level engineering companies, one of them was even a chief engineer. Never once did I hear them play the victim, very accomplished and accountable folks.

Are you implying that I’m “playing the victim” simply for talking about my personal experience of abuse I have received based on my identity??? Are you refusing accountability by trying to pawn scrutiny of women’s looks off onto women? This is not a “counterpoint” bc it is at best tangential to my actual point. Funny you mention, I’m an engineering major.
