“[it is the] intellectual’s role to speak the truth, as plainly, directly, and as honestly as possible. No intellectual is supposed to worry about whether what is said embarrasses, pleases, or displeases people in power. Speaking the truth to power means additionally that the intellectual’s constituency is neither a government nor a corporate or a career interest: only the truth, unadorned”

Great post, Nadz. Great insights.
Yeah we always have to remember that we are not here for the ones who think there is nothing wrong with the world, for those who have the privilege to not see where the wrong is. The FC is about us saying we don’t care about making everyone happy, we’re here because there are some issues no one’s talkin’ about, and some women that no one is payin’ attention to.
Don’t ever stop writing. I have a good feeling about this blog.
Oh, and I like to work in the kitchen because I’m reclaiming that space that has historically imprisoned women. So now I’ve made the kitchen my little feminist headquarters.

WORD! We can’t be silent anymore. We’ve been silenced and marginalized for so long that khalas. ENOUGH. It’s time to speak up and keep speaking up. Something’s seriously wrong with this country. And no one sees it or maybe they do, but they just let it go, or don’t know what to do about it. Enough passiveness. It’s time for action. Don’t stop speaking your mind. Don’t stop acting on your beliefs and convictions. And know that YOU gave ME a voice.

I love it! Its exactly what Iv been thinking! I paused for a moment as well to rethink what we did, and I wondered whether we made a big deal out of nothing… And I blame myself for that! By rethinking we make them win… However this is what makes us who we are… we question everything even our beliefs that we stand so firmly for, and when we realize what your blog post amazingly express, we grow stronger and more sure about what we’re doing!
If they question their thoughts for a second , maybe they will come around.. and until then , we will not shut up!
