It's Okay

Today, I realized I don't like working in a socially-isolating office as a "researcher," in "the movement." Unfortunately, I've spent too much time thinking doing "intellectual" work makes me more important: a member of the class people who think, investigate, talk, write and put into motion, in order to "fight the power" and improve people's lives.

Patriarchy is at play:

service, teaching children, talking to people, hearing what they have to say and helping:

this is women's work = bad.

thinkers and writers of the movement use their heads, provide worldviews, bring pressure to bear:

men's work = good.
