that is just sad. yet so many will say sexism does not exist
Pretty sure racism is also involved
It's as if, like, if you are a woman, and also in a disfavoured racial category, like, where they, uh, have overlap? Where they meet? It's not the same as either one individually but its own, I guess nexus? I feel like there's a better word for this
I think it's called a "double minority", but being a woman isn't really a minority tho (edit: not a minority in the context of being 50% of the human population) so I don't know if theres a better term than that.
I feel bad for people who are black, lesbian, neurodivergent, and trans-woman... like that's a quadruple minority.
That's not what minority means in the sociological context. Volume is mathematical. Poor people are a minority and there's more of them than the 1%. Being a minority is about lack of power, prestige and property. And intersectionality is the more formal term, but 'double minority' gets the point across.
@ReiRose@lemmy.world has it right, the term and idea is intersectionality.
apropos of nothing, intersectionality came out of critical race theory's analyses of black womens outcomes in the legal system. the particular combination of oppression is literally the textbook example.
