Scaling Back the Anger

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuyoR-catDo

In this video, Everyday Feminism’s own Margaret Kammer discusses how angry discourse can be dangerous when explaining feminist issues to curious listeners.

She reflects on her own pre-feminism views and stresses the importance of remembering that a destructive belief does not define a person, nor does it eternally damn them as sexist.

Watch as she explains the value in scaling back blame and accusation, and how effective it can be in promoting change.
