It's really boring reading, I tend to actually recommend people don't read it because it's utter nonsense. The only reason you should read it, in my opinion, is if you need to confirm for yourself that it's nonsense. Anyway, if you MUST inflict intersectional theory on yourself, just start reading Hypatia. If you want to get less into cutting-edge theory, and more into history/origins, you will want to read books like Developing New Perspectives on Race by Pat Bidol, which is important because it's the first work to formulate "Racism = Power + Privilege." It's super fascinating to read this one because you can get into the mindset of the author who said this first, and read her references so you see what inspired her to say that, so you can really see the underbelly. The downside to that is no one does this, not even feminists, because the underbelly is ugly. So no one will believe anything you say about intersectionalism. If you really want to join me in that boat, by all means, I guess. But we don't have cookies. We only have ennui.
