I despise everything this website stands for. Victimization under the guise of social justice is a disease plaguing today's world of ethics and politics.
The difference between being...
rich and poor: +-5
younger and older: +-0
abled vs disabled: +-7
educated or not: +-4
straight or gay: +-10
male or female: +-15
cis or trans: +-7
white or not: +-28!!
Who decided these ridiculous weightings? When ideology poses as sociology, all you get is pseudoscience.

"How can I improve my score?"
This statement implies that a higher score is better. Why is it better? Why is being White, Straight, Male, Cisgender, Rich, Middle-Aged, and Christian bad? Things like this make me absolutely disgusted by the state of today's racist, bigoted left.
I was bullied all of my life for being Jewish, my parents are divorced, and I'm low middle class. And I get a 14. Good job Liberals... Really progressing society.

Its interesting to me how you always hear the left calling the right racists and nazis and bigots, but they are the ones who want us to choose who to employ based on race, religion, sexuality, etc. All they have to do is call it “intersectionality” and its magically not discriminatory anymore. How smart.
So, a huge chunk is based on things you *can't* change-- skin color, age, able-bodiedness, gender, sexual preference, birthplace and first language. And this is supposed to be a balanced test? WTF?

Wounded in combat. Raging PTSD. In remission from addiction. Formerly homeless. Life in shambles after Iraq. Deemed 100% disabled by the VA. But somehow this quiz is able to make a sweeping generalization about my “oppression index” based upon my color, my sexual orientation, gender identity, and religion/ lack there of? Sounds similar to another vile ideology.
It’s hard to get behind the idea that oppression of all these groups is such an issue when “calculators” like this exist. True oppression wouldn’t allow for conversation like this to occur, or for voices to be heard. This is just a bizarre pathological desire to be different and feel victimized.
So I’m wrong for being white, male, straight, trying, working hard, paid attention in school and put in the hours where others chose not to?

"Some people even advocate giving more opportunities and promotions to people with high intersectionality scores so that they become more represented in positions of power. In politics, we could use these scores to compensate for previous social injustice by weighing votes in proportion to one's intersectional score. For example, someone with an intersectional score of 60 would get twice as many votes as someone with a score of 30. This would produce a more inclusive outcome and improve overall diversity."
So you'd be in favor of determining what promotions, wages, and political power individuals obtain based on the the color of their skin, their genitals, their sexual orientation, and their religion? I have to say, that's just goddamn terrifying. You people can take your discriminatory ideology of postmodern Marxism and fuck off with it.

"How can I improve my score?
Unfortunately, you are born with most of your intersectional factors. However, you can make some improvement to your score by getting more involved with Islam or Judaism, donate all excess wealth to charity, or explore the wild side of your sexuality. The easiest way to improve your score, however, is to champion the intersectionality of your more-marginalized friends. You may award yourself up to 5 points depending on the level of your activism."

I mean, first off, an online calculator that uses sliders to measure how oppressed you are is inherently ridiculous.
Second, the quotes they've selected (especially MLK's) are all arguments AGAINST intersectionality. None of these sliders are indicative of a person's character. These all just sort people by superficial characteristics, not the content of their character.
Though it would be hilarious to see the same people who argue that "people of color can't be racist" quoting someone who said "it doesn’t matter which color does the hating," I'm not convinced this site is genuine.
