“We have to get our hands and feet dirty in the fertile soil of change.”
I think you mean taking risks for what is right. This is hard to do. But I agree, we must do it. Polarized debates may be innevitable, but we can still look for common ground. I have thought atbout this recently, and I believe a good place to start looking for common ground in the gender debate is the issue of identity. Compare these two sentences:
Anthony, the what you said is very wrong.
Anthony, the what you are is very wrong.
