Someone who has never been marginalized just doesn't get it.
Yes. And many times we forgive them because they just "don't know what it's like". I mean, after all what else can you expect? Do you have any idea how defeating that is for someone just trying to level the playing field?
Some of the comments above have rankled me. I don't know if I can explain it.
To suggest that women don't have equal rights because they just don't stick with it and try hard enough. A child who has been raped and is pregnant, can just pick up and move to a more liberal state where she can get the health care she needs, just chokes me.
I don't mean to seem like I'm going after anybody here, honest it's not personal. It's what I (and so many other women) are used to.
Which is the response to those comments.
It's just not that easy.
