<p class="MsoNormal">Both traditional philosophy and feminist philosophy stand to gain in richness, inclusivity, and applicability to real life by reflecting intersectional analyses in their theories. I encourage such reflection by advocating a concept of
intersectionality based on family resemblance analyses. I caution against asking too much of intersectionality or of the metaphors used to explain it: intersectionality provides standards for the uses of methods or frameworks rather than theories of power,
oppression, agency, or identity. I test my approach against Marķa Lugones’s argument in “Heterosexualism and the Colonial/Modern Gender System” (<i>Hypatia</i> 2007) to determine, in particular, whether we can successfully resist a move to create multiple
genders for women. If we can resist this move, then we can answer the objection that intersectionality fragments women both theoretically and politically. My intention is to present a modest and flexible concept of intersectionality that can be of use to
many kinds of philosophers and other theorists. <o:p></o:p></p>
