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.

Transcript pending.
