Really enjoying this book, and boy is it timely. Now more than ever I have been examining my own role in perpetuating stereotypes, or even just being woefully ignorant in my assumptions and word choices. Chapter five really spoke to me. I could heartbreakingly see Twilight shrink as she discovered how her place in the world, albeit passively, is contributing to the machine of slavery.
I feel my self doing the same thing. Thinking I am one of the good guys fighting for justice, only to realize that many of the foundational beliefs I hold, often points of pride, are just plain wrong.
How does one navigate the world with this new revelation? I’m sure looking forward to seeing how Twilight will.
