Is intersectionality the new caste system?

Intersectionality is not the new caste system because it is liberating and breaks down societal divisions and hierarchies. It gives oppressed groups of the population a voice by increasing the understanding of society as a whole.

This position holds that intersectionality works in theory but falls short in practice. It accepts that its principles are sound, but argues that the practice is impractical and overly complex, and that it is often weaponised — so it fails to lay the groundwork for true equality.

Intersectionality is the new caste system as it places labels on people and introduces divisions between them. It promotes an individualistic politics where debate is shut down, where the identity of the speaker is more important than what they say.
