| 40. Lack of perspective, perhaps...? |
|
We are all on the same side but we are all individuals as well. We criticize our opponents for being ditto heads yet don't you see that shutting out alternative views makes us look the same? A few in the group see any perspective that differs as threatening--that is sad. Advice to "less fortunate sisters" is seen as being condescending or insulting. The women's liberation movement did liberate us legally but that doesn't mean equality drops in our lap--we need to take it sometimes. The glass ceiling does exist, misogynism is alive and well and we still have a lot of work to do in society, however, cutting off members in our body/group does harm.
Pointing out and criticizing is only the first step and sometimes a little stealth is required to change behavior.
