Our challenge is to think, act, speak inclusively.. knowing that commitment to all the isms is vital and complicated, but, absolutely necessary. Simultaneously, we won't all agree about the meaning of things: for example, I don't agree that Bette Midler's statement "Women are the N-Word of the Earth" erases black women. All women variously share being verbally abused. In other words, does this have to be "either" "or"? It's actually, both...in varying amounts.
