The left has this weird concept of intersectionality that all oppressed (as defined buy the left) share a commonality against their oppressors (again as defined by the left). Sort of a big tent of the aggrieved and oppressed groups that the Left hopes will rise up and well, they really haven't really thought it through all the way,
A major problem with intersectionality is often one leftist group of the "oppressed" is busily oppressing another leftist oppressed party.
This leads to ridiculous outcomes.
For example - Queers for Palestine - Gay people backing Islamic believers that just happen to impose the death penalty on gays, t because they're gay. Typically this done by throwing them off rooftops or hanging them from cranes. Because, per the Left, Palestinians and Gays are both "oppressed" and thus should mutually support each other even as Palestinians tend to support Gays for but a short moment as they lift them up to drop them off rooftops.
The hilarious part is Queers for Palestine busily protests against the only country in the Middle East where killing someone who is gay just because they are gay is illegal - Israel.
The latest ridiculous example from Andy Ngo on twitter:
Abortion is, you guessed it, highly restricted in Gaza and the West Bank - by the Arabs. Women can be beaten, jailed or killed for having an abortion.
The protestors, of course, aren't protesting that. Heaven forbid.
Instead they're trying to find some weird intersection between the US Abortion issue and support for the terror attacks carried out by Hamas - the same Hamas that would jail, beat, or kill a woman for daring to have an abortion on demand. Oppressed peoples and all that.
Of course they are not protesting these conditions but are instead protesting Israel, where abortion laws are a lot more permissive than under Hamas, so much so that Arab women often cross into Israel for abortions and medical treatment that they need without fear of being beaten, jailed or killed.
To a leftist apparently this insanity makes sense.
I daresay they're very much protesting in the wrong intersection.
