…and now “intersectionality” is yet another tool of the patriarchy used to bludgeon women who don’t center men in their feminism. How very unfortunate! Somehow, women and POC always lose and white men always win. Coincidence? Or a rigged game?

The amount of appropriation of feminist concepts is quite disconcerting, as you said.
What seems to be going on presently is that women speaking out on gender issues are getting called out for their ‘white feminism’ and lack of ‘intersectionality’.
It is ironic that many genderists use the term intersectionality because by definition the term means that oppression happens on multiple axis within the social realm.
Oppression because of biological sex happens to be a major axis of oppression for females in our societies.
Not acknowledging this truth makes any claim of being ‘intersectional’ quite spurious even farcical.

Yes, I know. Even black women are being labeled “white feminists” when they do not say the lines these self-styled “intersectionalists” want to hear.
