If we look closer, let's intersect this problem

Isn't this just another way of saying "let's look at influencing factors"?
Intersectionality theory, as a framework to facilitate social study may have merit with academics. As a means of justification is what concerns me as it implicitly points towards an agenda.
If you don't have a problem in any area of your life, then obviously you don't feel discrimination exists, but there may be varying factors at play why one is more or less accepting of societal systems that are in place that may or may not serve one's personal subjective needs or interests.
Gay white men are being kicked out as a class from some university LGBTQ organizations because they 'have too much privilege now' --- (in truth because they call out feminist BS for what it is without the male-female sexual dynamic coming in play, and have men's internal self-regulation and drive for professional success)

I understand what you are saying. Do you really believe, in the current social climate, this type of methodology is not open to deliberate misinterpretation and manipulation, especially when you factor in the nature of the results ie qualitative rather than quantitative data?

With respect, I find this rather presumptive and slightly condescending. Yes I was being rather flippant but solely to demonstrate a point . Of course I believe 'real' discrimination exists in parts of the world. I have read some very emotive stories by homosexual men who have been tortured in Iran because of their sexuality. To even attempt to equate this to a distorted perception of 'lack of respect' voiced by alternative lifestyle millennials is demeaning in my opinion (I am not accusing you of this btw). In my generation, respect and decorum meant different things One was earned and the other was about manners. Today, they seem to used interchangeably with authority.
In the last two years I have been housebound and at times bed bound. On the rare occasions I have been able to venture outside with a walking stick, yes I have met barriers. I put this down to oversight, geographical difficulties (eg no lift, steep stairs) and lack of funding. I most certainly do not apportion blame or feel I have been hard done by.
Have you managed to reject some of the stereotypes as an adult from those imposed on you during childhood by educators and other adults (which supposedly served to help children navigate through the complexities or can we say reigning confusion each generation has to face regarding the double standards and negative traits imposed on both genders).

I get the impression that you are in fact indoctrinated as you are not even prepared to consider possibilities. Heck first year grad students learn basic critiquing skills.
I looked at your recent history which confirms my suspicions.

I have nothing but disdain towards this repulsive aberrant dogma. Like all indoctrinated individuals you are impervious to rational thinking so discussion is a waste of time.

LOL
We don't need feminism but feminism needs you, to be a victim, in order to stay relevant.
