Take number 17, yeah someone like me has done that, they were like me in that they had white skin.
All 25 sound rather bitter, and most of us are going to deny them all, especially 24.
I guess we should just listen and nod. If we do that, will it be admitted we are getting somewhere? Or will there be a whole new list about how we don't say anything because we don't think it is important? At times I believe being a victim of these things must get so ingrained that it is uncomfortable to think of not being a victim of them.
I can only speak to being female, and even in that I'm not so determined to believe men are so bad that the ones who say they believe in equality are people I'm going to go after as dishonest about it. But then I'm a glass half full type of person, willing to see the rest of it fill up or try to do it rather than be outraged that it isn't already - life is too short.
