You know: the crushing rage and despair that comes from knowing that I live in a patriarchy that does not wish me well (understatement).
What can I do with my raging sense of injustice and powerlessness? Engaging in feminist activism is one option, but I fear it would just crush me even further to have this at the forefront of my mind all the time. OTOH, head in sand is no longer an option, since what has been seen cannot be unseen.
So, is it possible (and if so, how), to achieve equanimity, while being a conscious feminist living in a patriarchy?
