"A Prisoner of Words Unsaid" - if this resonates so strongly for me, how much more so for those who, as oppressed groups, are taught from the word go, first and foremost, keep your mouth shut? This is an awesome poem performance.
I think it is incumbent upon us all to speak first. Compromise, if it is necessary, can be made later. But if you compromise before you even open your mouth, no one will ever see that you have done so. (And no, I think that this lesson does NOT apply to MRAs, white supremacists or any of the other reactionary movements out there! You have spoken too much and too loudly already.)

Comments Moderation Policy
This blog is intended to be a place where I can develop my thoughts freely and get free and honest responses. Essentially, it is my safe space, and for that reason I have elected to maintain this blog as a moderated space. However, I am opposed in general to censorship and believe that usually the best way to kill a bad idea is with a better one, so very few comments will be rejected. Comments designed to cause offence for the sake of it (e.g. abusive or inflammatory remarks with no other content), or else those that I feel cross a boundary of human decency, are most likely to be rejected.
