I almost made a thread with that title. We are often on a similar wave length. We both have a habit of posting something completely off topic or random. I think I will start that thread anyway.
There is a lady here who has worked a good portion of her life with refugees from different parts of the world. Sometimes we have time for staff to share their stories, travels etc etc and the people she has encountered and the things they have gone through is amazing and like nothing I am sure any of us could imagine.
I will not post any story to try to persuade anyone to any way of thinking-everyone has their own ideas, that is not my goal.
One of the girls was brought over here by a family and she was a slave, she ran away and was able to get help.
Another family were arrested in Texas when they tried to come here from Burma and they were held like prisoners and not taken care of well at all.
When they come here, they are afraid.
Not all of them, I am sure, yeah there are terrorists, but I don't want to be the one to decide which one is and which one is not. There has got to be a way for some of these people to be able to escape and have a chance at life.
I am more afraid of Trump and his supporters than I am of refugees at this point.
To be a feminist is simply to believe that everybody should be treated equally, regardless of sex. It means you think that there should be equality of the sexes economically, socially, politically and personally. When you put it like that, it’s surely difficult for anybody to deny being a feminist. But for such a simple concept, it is often dramatically misunderstood.
