Am I a feminist participating in my own oppression? I silence myself. I discount my feelings. I make excuses for others, but demand More from myself.

It is during these times that I am a hypocrite. That I feel like an imposter.

What place do I have among my books, role models, mentors, and theories/practices that I take in --- but maybe don't absorb?

Why is it so hard to practice what I preach, to get out the words that are in my head?
It's too hard for me to be angry so I always give up. Say, "Oh, it's okay" "Yea, of course I understand" Placating, never demonstrating.
