..yeah I agree, Annie..with trying to fight oppression with oppression, that whole concept will just create a standing still as opposed to moving forward etc...I mean, if you’re trying to discuss with someone you feel is any type of ‘ism/phobic’...surely it’s about trying to create an understanding of that and how/why it’s felt in the first place to create a common ground of communication..because that person’s views are going to be held by a wider society, not just that one single voice...so closing it all down and name calling etc is not going to help anything to progress...surely we have to hear worries/concerns/fears etc to be able to begin to tackle solutions...
