Protection racket where disadvantaged groups, whether real or perceived, sell protection from false hate accusations for concessions from others.
What?! They wouldn't accept you in to college because your test scores are bad? Just give them the intersectional shakedown and tweet that it was racism, sexism and homophobia.

Get the Intersectional Shakedown mug.The awkward situation one gets into when you meet a certain circle of friends (whom you've not seen in some time) when your hanging out with a different set. There is nothing common between the two circles and your forced to introduce each other and spend the rest of the nite togather.
Most common would be school/college/office/girlfriend/family circles . Your stuck on

Get the circle intersection theory mug.The kind of racism that Intersectional Feminists espouse while insisting it’s not racism.
These people give themselves a supposed out by saying that shitting on another person simply because of their color or another arbitrary feature (such as being male, old, etc.) is okay as long as they are a member of a majority group and therefore hold “social power”. Because of that, the Intersectionalist thinks they can act with impunity from their prejudice because they have less “power” than the person they’re being racist against. Figure that one out.

Woman: I’m so proud. My grandfather is receiving the keys to the city in recognition of his helping the homeless here for over 30 years.
Intersectional womxn: Yeah, he’s helped a bunch of white people who are street trash, more like.
Woman: Jeez. I mean, this is a majority white city, so I suppose many are white, but he helps anyone who comes to him regardless of race.
Intersectional womxn: Fuck him. He’s a cisgendered old white male. His “good deeds” aren’t worth shit. I gave a black trans womxn a hug the other day, which makes me better than your grandfather.
Woman: Wow. That sounds like some intersectional racism type bullshit.
Intersectional womxn: Hah. I’m brown, Muslim and lesbian. There’s no way I can be racist. So fuck you too, white bitch.

Get the Intersectional Racism mug.A city street intersection where cars stack up on a red light, while a green light persists in the other direction in spite of the fact that there are no cars travelling through the intersection in that direction.

Get the San Jose intersection mug.Portmanteau of intervention and yenta (Yiddish for matchmaker/busybody). An interyention is more invasive than an intervention, and leans more toward interfering.
My mother wants to introduce me to her Zumba teacher's son, but I refused, as her last interyention did not end well. There's only so much therapy I can afford and can fit into my week.

Get the interyention mug.(n.) when an individual or group of persons intervene in the social life of their friend or colleague with the intention to introduce so-called "sinful" activities, including drugs, alcohol, tobacco and various promiscuous behaviors.

Get the sintervention mug.Concept used to describe ways in which shitty social constructs like -isms & -phobias are interconnected (intersectional! geddit?) and not magically separate issues.
Also used to describe how social inequality is experienced as an "intersection" of several forms of discrimination.
For instance, feminism that totally ignores racism is inevitably going to fall flat on its face, and pretending all social issues boil down to "it's all about claaaaaass!" is an exercise in brainlessness.

A transsexual black woman experiences intersectionality because she experiences both transphobia, racism, and sexism.
People who cry "you're just being divisive! these are separate issues!" are ignoring intersectionality.
"My feminism will be intersectional or it will be bullshit."
