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."

Get the intersectionality mug.A Penile Intervention is a strategy used to disrupt a conversation. Timed well, it can lead to a halt in conversation, or, if your lucky, a stop in the conversation of the group for 10 whole minutes. The manouvre is performed by, during the conversation, unzipping your flies, whipping your meat 'n' two veg out, and flailing it in a wild and majestic manner about the room, hopefully ending your fiasco somewhere near the most sexually active, and preferably heterosexual, male in the group.

Get the Intersectional Feminism mug.The idea that all social issues are connected on a deeper level. Intersectionality brings forth the idea that racism, sexism, transphobia, etc are connected and can't be abolished individually. To combat different types of oppression, Intersectionality states that we should all fight against it equally. In short, men need to fight for women, white women need to fight for brown women, women need to fight for trans women/trans men, Christians need to fight for Muslims, etc. Intersectionality is often linked to feminism, and sometimes wrongly confused as being radical when it is not. Intersectionality exludes SWERFS, TERFS, and "white only" feminists.
Intersectionality states that one form of oppression can be shaped by and can shape other forms of oppression. Racism, for example, can be sexualised, or women’s oppression can be racialised – and this happens in such a way that it becomes impossible to view different oppressions as separate.
