Intersectionality
Our various advantaged and disadvantaged aspects of identity (race, ethnicity, gender, ability, age, class, sexual orientation, etc.) do not act independently of one another, or in a simple additive way. Rather, they interrelate to create specific experiences of privilege and oppression that are not reducible to one or another identity.4
Been mulling over those constant speeches again. The gender factsheet I got this from and the Atlantic article on anger I just finished being the main catalysts. Really gotta get these down on video some day. Kind of coalescing the one on black males in white spaces with Trayvon and the Starbucks incident.
Some children do not identify with being either male or female, some identify as a blend of both, while others identify with a gender but don’t always express or embody it in culturally expected ways.
I identify as male, but I just view in my mind aggressiveness as a stereotypically male assignation in our cultural understanding and I very rarely express myself in such a manner.
Gender is one of many categories that are socially constructed to sort people and establish advantages and exclusions (see: Intersectionality).
