Insightful and intelligent writing as always Janice. Deep dives do us all good. Those who rule the world probably giggle at us peasants arguing about our petty identity politics as it distracts us from the hierarchical reality of our world. I agree that huge structural shifts need to be made but that sort of change takes generations. I can only hope that individuals do have a place in these movements, as small collective steps do push society towards tipping points. Or maybe I am a hopeless optimist that believes we can keep the chaos at bay by all doing our part. I guess we just have to look at RBG's life and work to know we can make a difference in our communities.
