The point of reference for judgment and assessment is no longer about what is wrong and what is right, but of the subject individual who is making the decision. Thus if we are not like the other person, there is no way they will come to acknowledge our ideologies. And considering that society is made of different people in the aspects of gender, race, and age, equality will become an almost unachievable goal.

This paper is an exploration of how she handles and talks about the popular intersectional feminism.
