Hi Samwhore- You are correct in that things SHOULD be different, and if all was well, we shouldn't need to fight against oppression. But the world is NOT as it should be, so what dutch.lover is talking about is a way to make what should be become what is. Of course, nobody likes the idea that equality does not currently exist with regards to a number of groups, but sweetie, if we don't try to redress the issues, they will not just go away. It is upsetting to think of the world that way, but we must, in order to affect change.
