Compromise

[Pannonian]

Not to mix my metaphors, but isn't calling it "one of the best ideas out of feminism and critical theory" still firmly in the territory of putting lipstick on pigs?

Identity politics - with its heirarchies of oppression, and power as the sole arbiter of group dynamics - is both uselessly reductive and socially divisive. Intersectionality attempts to mitigate the reductiveness, but only serves to further remove understnading of the the model from general public understanding.

They're left with a socially divisive lens through which to view the world, one which is so kaleidoscopic that their use of it must be interpeted for them by experts.

There is a better way, and it is called liberalism. Ignore the artificial constructs that people invent to define collectives, instead focus on the liberty of the individual.

Depending on which side of the water Monty is from, liberalism may mean something different.
