A quotation from Gloria Steinem

The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn. We are filled with the popular wisdom of several centuries just past, and we are terrified to give it up. Patriotism means obedience, age means wisdom, woman means submission, black means inferior: these are preconceptions embedded so deeply in our thinking that we honestly may not know that they are there.

Gloria Steinem (1934–2026) American feminist, journalist, activist
Essay (1971-08-21), “A New Egalitarian Life Style,” New York Times

This guy nails it I think.

"Many people imagine #antisemitism only in its crudest forms: #swastikas daubed on walls, abuse shouted in the street, threats and violence. Those forms are far too prevalent, and they are rightly and routinely condemned. But the #prejudice we face today as #Jews often presents itself in more subtle ways. It arrives wrapped in the language of #humanrights and #socialjustice. It insists that it has nothing against Jews as such. It simply posits that all Jews must be regarded as suspect until they have proven their purity.

This is very familiar to us.

In medieval #Europe, Jews were forced to prove their religious purity through #conversion, #baptism or public #renunciation of their faith. The #Nazis demanded a certain #racialpurity. Under oppressive regimes of various kinds, Jews had to demonstrate their political purity – that they were not either #capitalist #conspirators or #communist #subversives."

• In terms inherited from Marxism, what is the value of a description of the bourgeois class without an analysis of capitalism?

• In terms inherited from materialist feminism, what is the value of a description of masculinity without an analysis of patriarchy?

• Charles W. Mills asserts that white supremacy shapes the objective interests of the white group, uniting it. In particular, white supremacy counterbalances the class antagonisms that run through the white group.

Today, I'm taking a mandatory course at work on cultural bias.I learned the important distinction between stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination.

-Stereotyping is how we THINK;
-Prejudice us how we FEEL;
-Discrimination is how we BEHAVE.

Thank you to the Canada School of Public Service 🍁 for teaching me this valuable lesson.

How people pick and choose which #Bible verses to take literally, which to enforce as #civillaw, tells us more about the person, than about God's will. The #Torah indeed is religiously amazing - but #fundamentalism combined with unexamined #prejudice (which we all have) prevents us from understanding it.
So on a related note, how do #Jewish people read the Torah?

Why Do White Guys Care About Climate Change?

Why do so many white guys care about climate change? Let's be honest, more white guys should care about climate change, but the people you know talking about global warming, are they white guys? Let's talk about privilege, problems, and prejudice.
