this is an advertisement for feminine products but it makes a very good broader point. and it was aired during the superbowl which is not really known as a triumph of feminism. this does point to an underlying anti feminine bias. how do we get more people to recognize and change this?

Rehoboth is such an interesting place to teach. Race, poverty and justice issues come up a lot in class and around the school. I thought I'd add to this conversation.

the above reminded me of this:
But we reservation Indians don’t get to realize our dreams. We don’t get those chances. Or choices. We’re just poor. That’s all we are.
It sucks to be poor, and it sucks to feel that you somehow deserve to be poor. You start believing that you’re poor because you’re stupid and ugly. And then you start believing that you’re stupid and ugly because you’re Indian. And because you’re Indian you start believing you’re destined to be poor. It’s an ugly circle and there’s nothing you can do about it.
