Went to Feminism conference today with Elvis and was reminded of the plague of troubles and issues facing women the world over. Haven't been to a conference regarding these issues in 20 years and realise how little has changed and how much there is to be done. Surrounded by a hall full of these strong and committed women, I felt their strength and my weakness and ineptitude. Going to have to stand up and not be nice anymore. But I really believe a lot lies in the hands of men, to take responsibility and also stand up against harassment or abusive behaviour. To assist in enabling a 50/50 policy that includes women in all areas.
I felt so moved and inspired in the morning session, revived in fact, my beliefs strengthened, and my desire to change the world re-awakened. But also feel this consternation about how to assist in making this happen...what can I do? Such a powerful reminder of suffering bullshit, and all the immorality of modern convenience.
