Fair enough, good quote (btw I'm not from US so my knoledge here is limited). Although I'm not sure what portion I agree/disagree with it, I have to think about it much more.
But I mean, even MLK understood that there's a limit, right? Like he didn't take AK47 and started to murder all the racists he saw but have chosen rather strong but non violent approach and he thought about what he was saying and what "works". And that's all I'm saying, I've never said that you cannot take a strong stance. But if you turn it to 11 and just RAGE!!! then be prepared that you might not achieve anything or even make the situation worse
I fully agree. This applies not only to feminism but in general - if you want to convince people about something, you need to plan your approach, what to say, know what works on people etc. You cannot just rage like crazy because there's a high chance you just create a counter reaction.
F.e. I'd say we can all agree that gay rights are the right thing. But if you come to some conservative village, start shouting at everyone, being super aggresive and rage like a maniac, I'd bet that the only thing you achieve is that you'll be labeled as "that crazy person"
I'm really surprised of the responses to this comment, I find this to be a common sense
Oh sleep talking nonsense is the best! When I was in college my roommate wrote down what I said whe I was sleeping, it could be roughly translated like this:
"We have a crooked goat in our head that we can grab by the wall and then we can go fuck ourselves because we've had enough of it and that's it"
From my experience majority of people can't distinguish between 5โฌ wine and 500โฌ wine. And even if they do, they say it tastes "a bit better", not worth the 495โฌ difference. Pick one that tastes good to you and don't be ashamed if it's cheap.
I'm not a US citizen but I'd say if you don't like US overthrowing governments all around the world, then you should be double concerned it happening to your country. Those data are really powerfull tool for such thing and they have been used for it in case of Brexit. It's quite shocking to compare a foreign superpower with an advertising company and put it on the same level.
A classmate of mine from elementary school is a professional voleyball player. She traveled the world, played for teams in Europe, Middle east and Asia. Eventually she settled in the exact same village as me on the completely oposite side of the country from where we grew up. I didn't even know until my wife told me that one of our neighbours was born in the same town as me
What? That cannot be true
