So at a time of vulnerability to then have to confront the perpetrator, you are making your self even more vulnerable. In a physically safe space (classroom), the choice seems easy. What about at a bar? on the street? dark alley?Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11425988173947510344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302245627574027504.post-24520796265310852092012-10-11T05:53:36.331-07:002012-10-11T05:53:36.331-07:00Here's an earlier post on the topic of female ...Here's an earlier post on the topic of female body hair and women's attitudes toward it that might be of interest:<br /><br />http://femlegaltheory.blogspot.com/2010/10/im-hairydeal-with-it.htmlLisa R.

Sometimes when you are the only brown face in the room and someone makes a joke or comment I go through this inner dialogue. "Is it worth it to say something, do I want to be that girl thats too sensitive". Then leaving the room not saying anything do i feel like a sell out. <br /><br />What battles do you choose. tzeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01883601453535708205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302245627574027504.post-31847601322132934892012-10-10T11:03:39.561-07:002012-10-10T11:03:39.561-07:00Wow, I feel like I learned so much from reading th...Wow, I feel like I learned so much from reading that article! I think the world would be a much more tolerant place if people took a few minutes to learn about other cultures everyday. <br /><br />"When people's views are in diametric opposition to yours, it is often natural to attack or retreat, rather than engage." I definitely agree with your point. If the woman that picture had written a scathing message back to the man who posted it, he probably would not have listened or learned. It also would have be easy for her to ignore the post, writing him off as ignorant of her culture and not worth her time.<br /><br />Her approach is a great example of how we can all effect change by educating others in our everyday lives.
