History of Feminism

I feel the same way about racism. As a white person, I'm simply not as sensitive to subtle racism as a non-white person would be. Regardless of how much I care about the issue, that's the way it is.

That doesn't mean, however, that you can't do much good. Recently, I spoke with a black leader about this, who told me that I can do the most good by talking to white people about racism. In the same way, I believe you can do a lot of good by objecting when men around you say or do sexist things. With some men, your words will carry much more weight than they would if they came from a woman. You can use that to help the cause of feminism.
