"The personal is political." Injustice cannot be compartmentalized away.


I agree to an extent but let me put it like this. I'm very conservative, to the point that many at my work place would disagree with the way I live and others around me live. So I'm not super open at my work place. I like my co workers and I enjoy working with them despite being on opposite sides of the political spectrum. This is only possible because we silently agree to disagree on those topics by not bringing them to work.


The phrase "The personal is politial" is associated with second-wave feminism. I never expected to see it applied to James Damore.

Something to think about for both of us. ;)


I know you mean you say that injustice should not be compartmentalized away, but it's worth making this explicit.

History tells us unequivocally that it absolutely can be.
