A Great Man Said, "Don't Vote With Your Wallet"

Intersectionality ~ the notion that an individual's human experience is a unique intersection of their various group classifications.

Anti-Essentialism ~ comprehension of the difference between the universal experience of a large group (e.g. women), and the experiences of sub-groups (e.g., where "women" intersects with "black," or "upper-class," etc.) within that large group.

sesquippedalophobia ~ fear of large words.

*BANG!*

those words scare me too, but even after our group tried to tell us that what was actually the definition was wrong, I think that I understand the concepts. Onward to embracing intersectionality...GO!
