Gendered oppression does not act in isolation. It intersects with discrimination based on race, sexuality, ability, class, age, history of incarceration, religion, language, and citizenship status. Analysis of any one of these oppression alone is insufficient; each reinforces the other. In addition, the intersection of oppression is not simply a linear combination of the individual oppression.
