The radical move here isn't simply noting that our problems overlap—it's recognizing that treating them separately actually *weakens* our response to each one. When a Black woman fights for workplace equality, she can't bracket off her experiences with racism to focus only on sexism; the two are inseparable in how they shape her daily reality, and any solution that ignores this intersection will fail her. Lorde cuts against the tendency of movements to demand we choose our primary identity, our main complaint, our singular grievance, when the lived truth is messier and more honest.
