As a disabled woman this actually helped me understand some of my experiences. I've had a few encounters that left me asking, "was that sexism or ableism?". Hadn't considered that it could be both.
Phoebe as a fellow disabled woman I can affirm first hand that yes, it definitely can be, & often is. I’m so glad the video - which was excellent - helped you to better realize this b/c imo understanding is necessary to more effectively combatting the mistreatment, discrimination, stereotypes, etc. Keep on keepin on!🔆
@@Mel-pb5xw , not understanding can lead to a feeling of being gaslighted by society because you're always doubting yourself. You can't really combat anything if you're in that state.
It's amazing how intersectionality can help so many but it's so demonized. I appreciated hearing the history of the term.
Thank you so much for making this comment. As a white woman, I kinda needed something else to help it sink in I guess.
I’m in a relationship with someone with a significant age difference as well as a difference in race, and I’ve often wondered, when we get disapproving looks in a small Midwest town, if it was because of our difference in age or ethnicity. Yeah... I’ve always told myself that the answer is “it doesn’t matter,” but sadly, “it’s both,” is probably true as well.
Yep. Like the song "Woman is the N-word of the world". What if you're black and a woman? Thanks for this video.
Thanks Tonya!
I always loathed that song title. Written by a wealthy Englishman and well-to-do his Asian wife who knew nothing of the Black experience.
@@scattysafari7742 Lol, there is no 'the black experience'. People are individuals.
@@SubscribersWithoutAnySubscribe lmao u sound dumb. there is no individuality in a society focused on class structure
This is so interesting! I had no idea the legal background behind the term of intersectionality. I love how you helped explain that intersectionality wasn't a list of identities but actually had specific material consequences.
Thank you!!
@@KatBlaque yeah ok trash marxism. Your video could of just been 10 seconds long. Keep it up girl you doing tje devils work
Well researched video, I love it. It would be nice if one day you're able to do a video on post-colonial theory
That might take more than one video! Especially since "post-colonial theory" most accurately refers to a particular historical philosophical moment in the mid 20th century (the end of the "Age of High Imperialism" as Said called it). Currently active theory (especially in regards to global blackness) would be better understood as "anti-colonial" as it is build around an understanding that colonialism hasn't ended, rather simply that (for some people and in some contexts) it's structures and demographics have evolved (for other people, it's still the same old colonialism). I think a video on "decolonization" (what it is and what it ain't) would be possible.
So interesting! I've heard the term "intersectionality" so many times in feminist conversations and have used it often, but I never knew the origin. This is so important, especially since it's usually black women pioneering social justice movements while receiving very little recognition. Thanks for the great video!
that's why I made this video! Thank you so much for watching.
This was so clear and helpful in understanding how important intersectionality is and I was struck by how obvious it all is but how easy it is for unsympathetic forces to manipulate things to keep being unfair. Thank you for really cutting right to the point so well.
Thank you!
What is fair?
great vid kat, so often i see the experiences of people that are discriminated against in multiple ways being played down or dismissed because it is believed to be a "watered down" portrayal of sexism/racism/homophobia/transphobia/ableism
its so important that ppl understand that you can care about multiple social justice issues without it diluting the cause(s), in my opinion it actually strengthens the cause.
I will never understand ppl who think more than one type of discrimination is impossible simultaneously.
Can't believe judges issued some those rulings with a straight face. What a logic pretzel. Great video
This was Great! I look forward to new content. I can definitely say I learned something in this short 7 min video. How you explained it in that short period of time is amazing to me
I’m learning so much from this series. Thank you for sharing this info in a straightforward and easy to understand way. I feel like I’m going to be sharing videos from this series a lot.
This video is such a great resource! Thank you, it's a lot easier to send people this wonderful comprehensive video rather than Crenshaw's original article (although I hope it still convinces some people to go for it)
Liz Morgane so true, & I couldn’t agree more!👍👍
That lipstick is so great. Very well researched subject.
Aw thank you! It's Kae lipliner by Colourpop and Fenty Glow. :D
Omg right? Your lips were POPPING kat! I couldn’t look away! 🖤
When people misuse the term "intersectionality" and treat it like a synonym for "inclusive" it makes my eyes twitch.
This is SUCH a well done video!!👍👍As a disabled woman who has taken graduate social work courses & who is involved in patient advocacy work it is hardly something I’m unfamiliar with - personally, professionally & academically - but it I’m SO glad to now have such an excellent resource that I can & certainly will point others toward moving forward. And while I adore longer videos in this case I really appreciate the conciseness as that makes it far more useful as a resource to share (solely b/c those who aren’t familiar w/ you are more likely to watch).
So VERY nicely done👍👍, & thanks so much!🔆
Edit: grammar correction😉
Oh, great! I've been looking forward to this
Aw thank you!!!
@@KatBlaque Thank you! This is a really great breakdown of a complex subject. I'll be linking this in my next video which touches on intersectionality, but focuses more on brocialists who haven't quite come around to supporting intersectional feminism just yet (and why they need to! lol)
I absolutely adore the way you frame concepts
This is so well done, thank you Kat for the awesome work you do!
That really means a lot to me. Thank you!!!
Kat you are looking SNATCHED!!! You better work those floral dresses! (Also, I love that you are showing all of these different perspectives in your future content. It deepens the conversation. 💗
Thank you! I've lost a lot of weight since I filmed this video and that dress doesn't fit me the same way, but it's one of my faves. It's a good first date dress. lol.
@@Vitalrose They were just complimenting her. Although, I agree, it is indeed more important to recognize someone's contributions to education than someone's looks, but this person was just being nice and they also added some comments regarding the video and not just Kat's looks.
I've actually been trying better understand intersectionality and my kids and I have been having conversations about this topic. This video was great and very easy to understand. I'm going to have my kids watch it with me next. Thank you for always creating thoughtful content.
Hey, this is pretty good! I really found your summary of Crenshaw's arguments, and the legal cases that she uses for her argumentation, something I wasn't aware about. Thanks!
Very informative and very visually engaging. Nice illustrations, you are very talented!
Aw thank you!!!!
Your lectures/talks are very inspirational! :) Very thorough and thoughtful.
I started off watching Anti-SJWs & skeptics without any knowledge or education about intersectionality. This video is great to help me learn more about intersectionality. Great work 👍🏽
I absolutely love this video! I'm somewhat familiar with intersectionality but this video shined a new light on the subject. Keep up the great work Kat, I'm looking forward to the projects in which you'll be partaking in 2019 :D
I really love how well you cover these topics.
Thank you!
This was so interesting to learn! Thank you for making this video!
So I've watched several of your videos on BDSM and sexuality and was pleasantly surprised to see that my professor for my Love, Sex, and Globalization course used THIS video for covering intersectionality. Thank you for saving me from a boring lecture!
I'm loving your content lately Kat! You also look great :3
This is hands down the best video explanation I've seen on this topic. Thank you so much for this!!
Thanks!
Great video, thank you so much for showing us intersectionality's origins, it's so incredibly important. Also that lip gloss looks amazing.
I knew a good deal of this, but your explanation really made it click. Thank you so much for the info.
Thank you for this. I was having a difficult time with my sociology essay related to intersectionality -this helps!
I’m so late to this video but it just provided so much clarity I had to let you know. This video is awesome ❤️
great video!! i recently wrote a paper for school about intersectionality and white feminism, and this video gave me an even deeper understanding of what i thought i already knew pretty well. thank you for that!!
great video. really puts into perspective how essential intersectionality is. love your content lately kat!
I actually came into your channel from your more recent, more autobiographical stuff, but these videos are really among your best work. I think people need hot button concepts explained to them simply and clearly and you do that quite well in all of your formats. But these are more the videos I'd share with people in my life who really struggle with understanding concepts.
I used to exclusively make content like this. it was a lot of work, but I enjoyed it. I've shifted since, but I really appreciate this content because this content was the heart of my channel for so long. Thank you.
Insightful. Thank you for posting
Very informative. I heard the word come up in a debate so I decided to look it up and found this video. Now I feel like I have a firmer understanding of what intersctionality is.
This is so helpful in terms of understanding intersectionality - thank you x
This was a video that was required for my Women and Sexuality class!! I love your channel and you have wonderful information. I love this SO MUCH
thanks for this really informative video, kat. one of the reasons intersectionality is so important that i find people don't often focus on is the idea that, while -isms do interact with each other to create unique experiences of oppression, they also coexist with privileges that people also have to be aware of, despite being a minority. you see this a lot in terms of people saying "i can't be x (racist, sexist, ableist, etc.) because i'm y (queer, a woman etc.). make no mistake, i'm not trying to argue that poc have the social capital to perpetuate racism or anything like that. but i think it's important to acknowledge that while you can be privileged on one axis, you can also be marginalized on another. the experiences someone has in one facet of their identity don't cancel out or invalidate the others.
By my understanding of the term, intersectionality also means not only that racism+sexism is worse than either on its own, BUT that the two together mean that each may be DIFFERENTLY experienced when someone experiences both.
The example I always think about is that while women are subject to harsher beauty standards than men, black women aren't just subject to arguably harsher beauty standards, but somewhat different beauty standards. To get even more specific, women are expected to do more and spend more time and care on their hair than are men. But black women, who may have very different hair than white women, will often have very different hair care options than white women, and will be judged quite differently for their hair than will white women.
So, not just "two forms of oppression are worse than one." But "two forms of oppression - because of how they interact with each other - may equal quite a different experience than one."
This was so helpful ♡♡♡♡ THANK YOU!
I needed a clear understanding of what intersectionality was and I got it. Thanks Kat 😁
Great piece. Thanks for the education!
Thank you for putting this into such clear words, and for providing the history. It can be so hard to argue for intersectionality because people assume it's "oppression Olympics" when it really isn't.
Thank you so much for sharing
Awesome. I knew about most of it but not the detail of the final two cases.
Great video!
Damn. This was so interesting and informative.
I thought I knew what intersectionality meant, and I *kind of* did, but I understand it a whole lot better now. Thank you!
Glad to help
Thank you Kat!
Thank you!! I hear the term intersectionality a lot inside the internet feminist discourse, but I feel like most people don't really know what it is. This was very informative!
Thank you. I keep hearing this term and your video helped me understand. I agree with One of Those Guys that this should be common sense. I have been learning about the history of women in the labor movement and suffrage movement and it is abundantly clear that intersectionality was ignored and there was rampant exclusion and division along class, race and gender lines. Thank you!
Loved the video! Also you look beautiful
Interesting...I didn't know this, great video!
Love U Soooooo sooooooo much, wish you could come to Berlin someday 😘😘😘.
I was wondering if one day you would find the time to explain the difference between intersectionality and interdependency....
Again, I love your channel, I've been following you for 3years now. If only there were more people with insight on these platforms.
❤
Hooray for a clear and concise video explaining intersectionality in the way it was coined, in the words of Crenshaw.
THANK YOU 🌸
THAT WAS HELPFULL
Can we use the term intersectionality if we talk about discrimination faced by women of different ethnic backgrounds within a country ?
Yay thank you!
You're very welcome! thank you for watching.
Fascinating
Kat you look so pretty, we need your autobiography and I think you would make a great college professor. You should do more speakings as well!
I do college speaking! :)
Thank you!
We are Hispanics. I feel that if you’re not white the you get the short end of the stick more often than not.
At one of my older jobs, I did more than one role without the pay increase. When my old boss turned in her retirement I decided to apply. Suddenly, they had a freeze on hiring, weeks later they gave me my old bosses work without the pay. I eventually quit.
My sister was encouraged by a white woman to apply for a role. My sister did admin work. She did a lot of the executives presentations and the white men took credit. When she went to interview, the same lady that encouraged her was in the room too. An executive white male came in, looked at her, looked at her resume, and said “what makes you think you are a fit for this role? Maybe you should apply for a warehouse job. McDonald’s is also hiring down the street.” Then he walked out. The lady looked at him and my sister in shock. It broke my sister.
As Hispanic women, the stereotype is that we are cleaning ladies, warehouse workers, breeders, and what not.
It’s like for some white people, it’s a shock for a non white woman to be educated and smart.
I don’t know how many times people have assumed that I work in customer service. I have a high level position paying a lot of money. I don’t like having to prove myself. We shouldn’t have to.
this is a great a video!
Thank you so much for this video. I am doing a paper on how intersectionality helps me understand the challenges faced by teen parents. I couldn't quite understand the concept of intersectionality so I googled it. The first video that came up was some extremely racist one where I think it was mostly a joke. Sadly, this video came up second on google. This video should be the first one on the list on google because it is actually a video that teaches the true meaning. I'll be able to write that paper now that I have more knowledge on the subject of intersectionality. Thank you Kat!
I'm curious, how does intersectionality conceptualise non-discriminatory disparities and how do you quantify the difference? Is it case by case? thanks
@@i.m.7911 tthanks for the reply. This video is primarily about the legal side and I guess there's a personal side as well? Does intersectionality depend upon on the existence of systemic racism and the patriarchy, or can it simply apply within individual relationships?
EXCELLENT RESEARCHER
Do people get discriminated based on multiple traits, yes. Is it right, no. I acknowledge this, yes, and agree it's awful awful stuff. Done.
Now when it comes to the workforce with me it's about preformance and production. If you can't make the cut, your cut. If you can't make the sale, see ya. Don't care if your guy, girl, straight, gay, or bi. You will gain respect by hard work, results, and positive attitude towards work in the right environment. If they discriminate you for this when your numbers are above satisfactory, then get out of that company as soon as you've got a solid job opportunity lined up. It may take sometime and you may have to relocate your living arrangements but in the end you and your employer/employees will be in a happier, better place when you find the right fit. If they can't see a golden goose when ones in front of their face then it's their loss, right?
Exactly! I try to explain this to people. Very well said.
Wow! Crenshaw was brilliant! On the other and, why was this not understood a long time ago?
This is such a phenomenal video Kat! I genuinely love the way you analyzed the concept regarding intersectionality, and introducing its origins. I feel like that there are many misconceptions people have regarding intersectionality; because of this, there are many people, whom I've seen, try to criticize intersectionality in feminism, and often resort to straw-men whenever discussing intersectionality. Thank you so much for this amazing and informative video! Keep up the great work!!! ^_^

This is also about the systems of oppression, capitalism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism and whorephobia also interact together as structures. For example "Trans people are mentally ill, they shouldn't be allowed to transition, they're all gay, and they're all sex workers" is a view held by many bigots. These bigoted views and structures uphold one another.
If we were to dispel the idea that mentally ill = bad, would you disagree that people with dysphoria have mental troubles which could accurately be labelled mental illness?
Intersectional feminism is something that was always very logical for me and that I vaguely understood and stood for without it being explained to me. So I find it particularly irritating when people refuse so accept that people can be discriminated for being part of multiple oppressed groups. Like, are you blind?! So thanks for this comprehensive video that I can share with people from now on
Thank you for the video, great explanation and information!
On a somewhat related note I feel a number of white people, who want to do the right thing but don't understand fully all the issues involved (myself included,) are having a hard time knowing how to be supportive with the Surviving R Kelly documentary. I want to support and encourage black women without overstepping in criticism of R Kelly and thus inadvertently forcing people to defend black men. I don't want to attack black men or black culture, just the actions of R Kelly. (I feel I'm not doing a great job at this, if my paragraph above didn't prove it.)
If you are thinking about doing a video on the documentary or a similar subject could you also please consider touching on this issue? Thank you!
Comment to help the algorithm. She slaps
Terrifying.
My gender and society class showed this video. Very well explained!
That makes me so happy to hear..it's why I made the video
I feel like Multiplicative Discrimination would be a better name.

What's your opinion on Womanism?
In 2 weeks, I'm releasing a video about womanism. :)
🤢
Why does this video suggest that black men don't deal with racism and sexism?
Just a way of piling on ways of excusing failures.
On a related note, we in the atheist community can sometimes fail to take seriously concerns raised by ex-Muslim atheists or African-American atheists or female atheists.
For example, here in Western countries, ex-Muslim atheists are in a peculiar position. Because they have the same last names and the same appearance as Muslims, to the extent that anti-Muslim bigotry exists, they get subjected to all the same crap as Muslims.
When Muslims complain of anti-Muslim bigotry, you have to carefully examine the claims because, like Christians, Muslims will often misrepresent legitimate criticism as bigotry, but when ex-Muslim atheists in the West complain about anti-Muslim bigotry in the West, that is time to pay more attention. All too often, the atheist community just responds with "It's not bigotry because Islam is not a race" or whatever ridiculous bumper sticker argument they got from some right-wing free speech warrior on RUclips instead of taking our fellow atheists more seriously.
Ex-Muslim atheists are number one on the infidel kill list. They are among the fiercest critics of Islam, but when ex-Muslim atheists start complaining about anti-Muslim bigotry, that is precisely the time to listen to their concerns.
Intersectionality is a term that stands against the idea of Judge not a person by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
I've been hearing and reading about complaints from non-white feminists since I was a child (I'm 50). I'm ashamed to say that I didn't take those concerns very seriously until 2016 when 54% of white women voted for a pussy-grabber because they happened to like his racism. That was when I had the unpleasant realization that I should have been taking those concerns much more seriously than I had been (double shame on me there as I'm half white).
When I went to the woman's march following Trump's election, I saw a lot of protest signs mentioning intersectionality. I didn't quite grasp what the signs were talking about. I kept meaning to read about intersectionality, but never got around to it. Thanks for your summary as it finally gave me the kick in the rear to go and read the thing. This is exactly what I should have been more aware of long before the 2016 election.
femenisim isnt what it used to be.
This is amazing I’m a male but I’m really a black female transgender disabled impoverished please feel bad for me
Nice nice nice
Word salad
It's pretty clearly defined.
@@KatBlaque If you say so?
Intersectionality is useless, we just need to oppose what's wrong.
