Renina continues to
challenge herself and
give these types of
conversations a platform
away from the classroom.
i also think she grapples
with a lot of ideas and
i love that she?s not afraid
to put that work on display.
i?m thankful.

Yesterday I tweeted a thought, and apparently I touched a cord.
I was so moved by the reaction that I did a screen shot to preserve this history.
The quote is:
Openly Loving women, in a society premised on oppressing women,
is prolly one of the most radical thing you can do.
Agreed?
No?

agreed. wish i could’ve experienced the tweet in the moment!
love.
I don’t understand the context of your quote! I see day in and day out men showing their wives and/or girl friend love and affection in public. Do you mean in the media, a specific race?
Oh the context, is the global.
I am speaking to the ways in which women are presumed subordinate to men, now and historically, and how OPENLY loving a women opens can open you to ridicule or even violence.
i concur. sexism is so inbedded in our culture that oft time people (men and women alike) are sexist but may not be aware of it. on a number of occasions i was able to point out this behavior that existed unbeknowst to them, and many of them were able to acknowledge it. that said, i think we should continue to teach and educate because sometimes when people know better they do better

I would say most of the time.
