I've been feeling overwhelmed myself by the relentless tide of misogynistic news and comment the last few weeks, among other things.Joan of Quarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11380435260642403202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327544553976967122.post-13115443807425466522011-06-03T16:41:03.333+01:002011-06-03T16:41:03.333+01:00well said my sister!
lets say it again:
FEELING...well said my sister! <br /><br />lets say it again:<br /><br />FEELING OVERWHELMED NOT A SIGN OF FAILURE. FEELING OVERWHELMED A SIGN OF HOW IMPORTANT THE FIGHT IS. KEEP ON SMASHING!<br /><br />Totally felt like that recently. And today! Every news story feels like more and more hatred and violence against women, or simple disregard for women. And if you dare to point it out, it's YOU that;s in the wrong. Of course, there was the fun time on IWD when the liberal conspiracy commenter called what i said a 'hysterical rant' and someone said that the only reason Sunny was defending me was because he 'liked' me. Where do you even start to talk to people when they refuse to listen? <br /><br />But as so many people have said to me today, we have to keep at it. Keep fighting, keep writing, refuse to be silenced. Because we are allowed to feel knackered and overwhelmed, who wouldn't be with some of the bullshit thrown our way. But there's a better world that we are fighting for.<br /><br />The victim blaming crap over Clarke, Helmer and Strauss Kahn though even caught me out. Particularly when it came from some certain Daily Mail commentators...<br /><br />But you rock, and i am proud to stand in sisterhood and solidarity with you.sianandcrookedribhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00959715300131969670noreply@blogger.com
