Your piece speaks to me about the importance of the conversation and willingness to listen – are these not key conditions for learning? It seems to me that often the deeper conversation is in unpacking the words of what we or another mean. This very act is oh-so-very humane and breaks down the barriers. I too struggled with the word feminism in a world in which I didn’t feel as though I had a voice (Why should the focus be on the feminine when I felt oppressed?). I felt helped by conversations about what feminism meant to different people, finding what felt right to me. I now can comfortably describe myself as a feminist AND understand the importance of others having their process with it. Is it finding care in processes that we are learning as a world? I suspect so. Thanks for the post.
