You deserve to retreat and rest, if that is what you need right now. But this can't be forgotten, it's not part of an old life; it's real life, right here and now. Reading about it makes it part of my life. It makes me angry. It makes me want to be able to do something about it.
I've been reading a lot in the past few weeks, on a vast range of topics generally revolving around philosophy and physics. Surprisingly, one of the things that keeps seeping out the edges of these subjects is good, old-fashioned sexism. What a shock to realize I'd almost forgotten all about it. I'm in a very sheltered environment with regard to unequal treatment of het women and GBLT persons, both at work and at home. That's no excuse though. I should never have become complacent, because I'm beginning to suspect that the wheel is turning and it's coming around to another fight.
That's my wheel, though and your's may be at another point in the circle.
