(13,965 posts)One of the great enablers of evil is the idea that people should be silent as it goes on. When I speak out against things I see, I am NOT at all saying the women cannot fight, indeed, the fights of several inspired me to do so. However, bullies act in numbers, because they are weak, and until people learn to work in SOLIDARITY, as one, with a common interest, then the bad guys win.
And while I would never say that I understand women's issues the way a woman does, my mother raised me to be smart enough to know one thing: the people who try to dominate others will sooner or later try to dominate YOU. With rare exceptions, the same people who attack the feminists are very often the same people that accuse minorities of "whining." They are the same folk that whine about how they were robbed, because the world was supposed to revolve around them. Sorry boys, those of us on the left were warning you that the big boys you admired never intended for you to have a place at the table, so that makes all the times you sold out your integrity worthless. That truth is something men and women can see, but not the overgrown boys that pounce in the shadows hoping to attack people who say the truth.
