 "It was really interesting to hear her talk about how learning to be a woman increased her consciousness of gender oppression."

I think that this is a really interesting observation especially because at her talk at Bryn Mawr she said how violence against women should be the number one focus over things such as gay marriage. She has a very real idea of what oppressing factors are and feel like in the real world ESPECIALLY against women. It is interesting to me that she had to learn what it felt like to be in the oppressed role because she was not necessarily born into it. Crazy! That makes me wonder what kind of an outlook on life would I have if I wasn't a woman. How would people treat me differently? It's one thing to take about inequality between the sexes and it's another to feel it from both sides.
