Advice from an old feminist...

[Cerridwen]

No, not me. An "old" feminist who was a mentor to me and many other feminist activists.

"In politics, the victories can be few and far between. People can be resistant to change and so progress can be slow. When you win one of those victories, take the time to celebrate. Charge your batteries for the next uphill battle. Take the time to CELEBRATE!"

10. too late!

I did not even know there is a time limit!

Heartily rec'd!

[tblue37]

14. I hate that time limit. Often I post in a hurry and then rush off to do something

necessary--like go to work. But then when I come back to read responses, I find I made a number of embarrassing typos, but I can't fix them because I have missed the window of opportunity for editing my post!

No other site I visit has such time limit for editing, and I don't really know why DU does. I just wish it didn't.

15. We finally get equal pay? nt

[Cerridwen]

16. Just a short-lived happy dance about the repeal of DADT.

Gay rights are also included in the broad swath of feminist issues. I decided to be a happy curmudgeon for a little while. I needed a break and I took it.

[Enthusiast]

17. It's true.

But it is now, aside from this issue, in our face fascism that we now have to contend with.

[Cerridwen]

18. And so we re-charge and get back to work.

Except in the few cases of those who have to sober up first. :D

Always remember to take a moment and enjoy before moving on. Burn out will "kill ya."
