I always thought it based in Christianity.

"For it was eve that ate the apple an now women must be subservient to men" least that's how I hear it. I heard from a female american colleague that she struggled with male trash telling her to get in kitchen and out of office back in 90s but better in recent years. I heard one older (60s) male coworker write a formal written complaint on that specific woman. Like wtf? That bloke never had time for emails but will complain about the new woman in the office? Now it seems right wing brain rot is making things complicated. I worry for future women.

What do you mean by "lack of intersectionality"

US feminism is mostly centering on the issues of white, middle-class women, failing to fully integrate the needs of women of color, marginalized, or lower-income women. This lack of a unified approach leads to fragmented advocacy and fragmented outcomes, rather than a broad movement.

Also 53% of white women vote for trump compared to 7% of black women who voted for trump. This showed that they gave more priority to racial identify over collective welfare of all women in usa .

White feminist often ignore of won't acknowledge that in usa —specifically land ownership and early capital accumulation were built upon the exploitation of Native American and African people.

The systematic removal of Native Americans from their land provided massive amounts of property that was subsequently passed down through generations of white families, serving as a primary source of generational wealth which black women or native American women doesn't have.

The wealth generated by the labor of enslaved African people in agriculture and other industries directly enriched white slaveholders and, by extension, their present generation . Jim crows law curbed wealth generation for black women compared to white women

Wealth disparity between Black and white women in the USA is severe, with white households holding nearly 10 times the median net worth of Black households, or approximately 15 cents for every dollar. Black women face lower income, less intergenerational wealth, lower homeownership rates, and higher debt, often keeping them in lower-wage service jobs without benefits.

white feminists often ignore these issues Best example would be :-1)DEI

Despite DEI mostly benefitted white women , most of the white feminist organisation ignored whether black women benefitted or not .they doesn't cared about native American or black women . They often fail to view things from racial angle by focusing just on gender angle

2)Most of the educational scholarships are benefitted by white women over native American ,black women

Whereas in

Nordic feminism is embedded within a strong, universal welfare state that prioritizes collectivism over individualism. Their approach addresses inequality by providing universal healthcare, subsidized childcare, and high-quality education, which inherently benefits marginalized groups.

Nordic feminists despite america feminists supported and worked for the the welfare of minorities like Sami people and supported affirmative actions for Sami women..

Unlike Scandinavia where conditions of minority women are getting better , in usa wealth disparity is widening everyday

Jerry Falwell is specifically why. And I hope he is burning in hell.

Well, then, why isn't Kentucky more feminist? It's about as homogenous as Sweden.

Sweden is a much smaller and far more homogenous country than the US. They didn’t need intersectionality to succeed.

Sweden used to be run by the Social Democrats for decades and they have helped a lot with emancipation from the 1960s onwards. Back then Sweden was even more homogenous.

Swedish culture of lagom är bäst emphasizes harmony instead of confrontation and conflict. Americans are pretty much the opposite of that.

Remember that the US is far more religious. Lots of religious fringe lunatics emigrated to the US from Europe and you can still see the results today.

Currently in the US you have elite white activists preaching long about intersectionality, while alienating the lower working classes, especially whites.
