Question: Is intersectionality the new caste system?
Position1 of 3›: No, intersectionality is not the new caste system
Argument‹3 of 3: Intersectionality is liberating and gives oppressed groups a voice

Intersectionality is not the new caste system because it is liberating and gives oppressed groups a voice. It gives people the chance to frame their individual circumstances of discrimination in society.

The argument

Intersectionality gives people the chance to frame their individual circumstances of oppression, therefore providing them with a way to fight for inclusion and acknowledgement.

Context

Intersectionality is an approach to understanding how race, class, gender, sexual orientation, and other identities overlap & interconnect to influence each other across constructed systems of power and oppression.

Premises

[P1]Intersectionality lets people frame their own individual circumstances of oppression. [P2] Framing those circumstances gives them a way to fight for inclusion and acknowledgement. [C] Therefore, because intersectionality is liberating and gives oppressed groups a voice, it is not the new caste system.

Counter-arguments

Intersectionality alone is not sufficient to allow all voices of the oppressed to be heard. Words cannot change the way that those in power understand the struggles of the discriminated groups of the population.

Rejecting the premises

[Rejecting P1] The premise does not reach the question at issue — whether ranking people by their combinations of disadvantage functions as a hierarchy — so a framework could be liberating for those who use it and still order people the way the opposing position describes. [Rejecting P2] Framing a circumstance is not the same as being heard: on the counter's account words alone do not change how those holding power understand the groups they disadvantage, so a new vocabulary may leave the distribution of that power untouched.
