How does intersectionality influence class consciousness in relation to social expectations of gender and race?

Intersectionality is the idea that different social identities, like gender and race, overlap and affect how people experience the world. For example, a Black woman may face challenges that are different from those faced by a white woman or a Black man. This means that social expectations based on race and gender can create unique pressures and opportunities, influencing how people understand their social class and their place in society. When people recognize these overlapping identities, they can better understand the specific struggles they face and work together to address them. For instance, a group advocating for fair wages might include voices from various backgrounds to ensure that the needs of all members, regardless of race or gender, are heard and addressed.
