a day off from diversity
Let's reclaim them. Let's share them. Let's start over. Let's have T-shirts and bumper stickers and postcards and hip-hop music, television and radio commercials, ads everywhere and billboards, and all manner of printed material that tells the world about feminism. We can share the simple yet powerful message that feminism is a movement to end sexist oppression.

What the hell is this about?? L, gp
ReplyDeleteThat's what it was supposed to be the first time, when I was your age. It's gotten worse than it was before it began.
ReplyDeleteCould it be that because men treat women as equals without that little respect (opening doors, giving up a seat, polite conversation, thoughtful things), women don't hold themselves in such high esteem any longer. They allow sexism, trying to influence men because the nice things are not expected due to feminism.
It has spiraled downward. I don't mean all men & women but too many of them. lg
