As excited as I was in seeing how far women that paved the way have brought us. I have to admit I am just as saddened to see how much further we need to go. And on top of that it seems there will have to be more casualties of our minds and souls for the cause. I'll be the first to admit I have lived a life of just accepting inequality because I was sure someone would object if need be. But this hierarchy and systems of privileged and inequality its upsetting depending on which side of the scale we fall on. I find myself angered by my intentional denial of these social constructions that put us in classes according to height, weight, gender and race. But now it has me at a wondering all of what can I do to make an impact such as Fannie Lou Hamer. So now I'm curious to what my wave of feminism looks like as well as my plight. As a black woman who is older in a wheelchair seems I'm not part of the solution but part of the "problem.'' But then again being alive keeps me ahead of the game. Life is the luxury being comfortable doesn't seem like a feasible option but how we treat each other while were here on earth determines whether or no we will ever be free.
