Thanks for sharing, very powerful piece.I could not improve
on what Joe Carlin said “People stick with what they know because it’s easy,
which makes even realizing the problem to be the problem. “
Or Doc Stefflbauer; “But the experience of bending yourself
into pretzel shapes to fit into a culture made manifestly uncomfortable
just by your presence?”
But I will add this, diversity is when viewpoints and cultures are different.
A man of a different race raised in a misogynistic culture
of winner take all, and women are to be seen and not heard
is not diversity.
Diversity is women, Native Americans and other cultures
where co-operation is their fundamental principle, now that is diversity.
And then there is this.
If Men Could Menstruate. by Gloria Steinem.
“the characteristics of the powerful, whatever they may be,
are thought to be better than the characteristics of the powerless
— and logic has nothing to do with it. ”
