They are ultra-inclusive having a slider for Born in USA and Born Elsewhere. Otherwise those born in the middle of the border with Canada would be marginalised.
Not well designed enough to change which end of the slider makes you more oppressed based on it, though, so a native Pakistani is les soppressed than an expat from the USA.
I kept everything else the same and simply turned the race slider from POC to M*yo and ended up being more privileged than 57% of people while 88% were more privileged than me before.
Barely even works. If I put in that I'm a poor jewish muslim disabled lesbian who speaks fluent german it barely makes a difference than if I'm a slightly effeminate straight white guy.
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.
Is this actually true? I always hear this from antifems, but I don't really know much about this part of academia to judge this. Not putting wealth and social class above all else seems too obviously stupid to be anything but a straw man.
I don't see how the concept of intersectionality per se implies understatement of the importance of class. Of course it could be so in practice, that's why I'm asking, but all my education in feminist literature comes from low effort ridiculing them.
You’ll see class mentioned, but only as one of many aspects of oppression/privilege, not as the defining measure of how oppressed/privileged a person is.
Yeah, it's more or less systematically ignored. Even back when all this social justice stuff was confined to Tumblr, advertisers profiled the site as having a median household income of 70k USD. Coincidentally, 99% of the SJWs on the site didn't want to discuss wealth as a form of privilege.
They consider 100% atheists to be a more oppressed than casual muslims and casual jews, but if you have any Christianity at all then the more non-jewish or non-muslim you are just hurts your score.

// Hello JS reader! As you can see, the current formula for Intersectionality Scores is sort of a weighted average
// of the sliders plus a little extra if you have no religion. In the future, we plan to let people define their
// own weights to the factors as we've found that most people want to tweak the weights according to whatever
// factor they have that's the most oppressed. But until then, well, this is the officially sanctioned weights
// so there will be more arguments. Thanks for visiting and spread the word. Hopefully, we can stamp out all
// forms of bias worldwide. Peace and love!
//score = (racen - race.value) * (orientn - orient.value) * (sexn - sex.value) / (racen * orientn * sexn);
//score = (score - .05) / .95;
score = racen * (race.value) / 100 +
orientn * (orient.value) / 100 +
sexn * (sex.value) / 100 +
gendern * (gender.value) / 100 +
rpn * (richpoor.value) / 100 +
abilityn * (ability.value) / 100 +
agen * (0.5 + Math.abs(50 - age.value) / 100) +
christiann * (100 - christian.value) / 100 +

jewishn * (jewish.value) / 100 +
nativen * (native.value) / 100 +
englishn * (english.value) / 100 +
educationn * (education.value) / 100;
score = score / (racen + orientn + sexn + gendern + rpn + abilityn + agen + Math.abs(muslimn) + Math.abs(christiann) + Math.abs(jewishn) + nativen + englishn + educationn);
// having no religion has some oppression
if (christian.value + muslim.value + jewish.value < 30) {
score += .05 * (1 - (christian.value + muslim.value + jewish.value) / 30);
}
num = Math.min(100,Math.floor(100 * score));
Shouldn't increasing your Jew power also increase your privilege? I mean , being part of a group in America that has their own police force and special laws that defend them from regular laws is pretty damn privileged.

It’s actually well designed enough to geolocation by IP and ask you about the country you’re presently in.

Who cares though, it's obvious satire.

How is cisgender to transgender a sliding scale.
Scratch that, how is it possible to be a devout Christian, Muslim and Jew at the same time.
1 snallygaster 2018-12-02
The fact that they used sliders made it pretty obvious that it's a joke.

5 or 6, but that wealth slider is seriously undervalued. The wealthiest people in society aren’t only 5 more privileged than paupers.
1 happyorangejuce 2018-12-02
Wealth is literally the single most important thing in real life by a factor of 10.
1 Timorm0rtis 2018-12-02
This is true, but it’s not something you’re likely to hear in most (any?) discussions of intersectionality. I wonder why.

If they cared about class or the worker then they wouldn't get bogged down with divisive intersectionality bullshit to begin with.

This is certainly true for woke reddit, but I'm wondering if it's universal for intersectionalists.

Wow I wonder if that's why it's at the bottom, so you can't see the number move as you slide it.
1 better_bot 2018-12-02
Actually, I was wrong. It added to my points, but if you isolate it then it does subtract some for being not jewish. I don't know what happened.

To get the full 100 you must be both devoutly Jewish and devoutly Muslim.
Radical centrists confirmed as the most marginalised community.

1 rnjbond 2018-12-02
The fact that extreme ends of rich and poor only impact your score by 4%, while moving from white to black changes it by 35% tells me this is useless.

Someone from the UK just logged a score of 96. You apparently reach that if you're a devout Muslim, devout Christian, AND a devout Jew.
