Question

Crenshaw argues that we cannot consider race, gender, social class, or ability alone because they are interconnected. How do you see this working in the world around you? Why is it important to consider multiple "power lines" together?

Answer 1

In our day to day life we see some things makes people able to do something. For example people who are rich or high in social class has more privileges or has more influence than others in some issues. In the same way race and gender might make people discriminate others . When a person wants to do something , they are judged by some other factor such as race or gender or social class. These give people the ability to do certain things which others cannot do . These factors cannot be considered alone because one cannot survive without the help of another like ability does not come without social class or social class depends on race or gender etc., Hence they are considered in multiple and is important to do so.
