to ignore the struggles of women ALL OVER THE WORLD just because you don't necessarily see the injustice around you or where you live is kind of, for a lack of a better word, ignorant. intersectional feminism understands how different parts of women's identities (i.e their race, class, religion and sexual orientation) impacts the way they experience oppression. for example, in Malaysia, malay women might not go through the same difficulties indian women do because malays make up the majority of the population. and of course, growing up with more malay friends than indian friends might not expose you to the the issues that they might have to go through but just because you personally haven't seen or heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. 

and even if women in Malaysia don't experience that many injustices, that does not mean one can simply undermine the struggles of women in other parts of the world and how the movement works to help them.
