progressive stack

The hierarchy of identities on the identity politics social justice Left. A product of Social Marxist intersectionality, the stack is used to determine which people are more oppressed than others based on their inherent characteristics and therefore more entitled to speak and/or have opinions on the topic at hand. The acquired characteristics that make a person a distinct individual are irrelevant.

Identities are generally ranked as privileged or oppressed in the order which follows: race (white/non-white), gender (cis/trans), sex (male/female), sexuality (hetero/LGB+), ability (able/disabled), class (upper & middle/lower and working). Religion (Christian/non-Christian) may also be a factor, depending on the circumstances.
"Occupy Wall Street’s General Assembly operates under a revolutionary 'progressive stack.”' A normal 'stack' means those who wish to speak get in line. A progressive stack encourages women and traditionally marginalized groups speak before men, especially white men."

As a black female, Michelle Obama is inherently oppressed by *all* white homeless men. Except, possibly, transgendered white homeless men; we're not sure about them?
