Finding more ways to see how oppressed you are is never a good way to fight oppression.

It puts a name to the feelings so many people have. When you want to change something, you have to name it first.

But all the examples Mary John gives of social reform for gender is dominant caste based..in India also the history of feminist movement is led by oppressed caste women..intersectionality is the theory developed by kimberley crenshaw in 1980s to talk about specifically how black women had to show legally through 3 cases that they were either in the category "women" or in the category "black" and so intersectionality is used by her to talk about compounded discriminations that individuals and groups face.

[@jackielehman8945]

Yes I understood this as compounding oppression factors. Not sure if it's correct, but it makes sense to me.
