Finn Mackay Quotes

This Myth Of Meritocracy And Equal Opportunities Encourages Individualism Over Collective Action, Because When People Believe This Myth, They Obviously See No Need For Protest Movements Around Particular Classes Or Identities, Such As The Women's Movement Or The Civil Rights Workplace, Education Or In Their Personal Lives, They Are More Likely To Blame Themselves, Rather Than Sexism, Racism, Class Oppression Or Homophobia; Concepts Which In Current Society Are Often Seen As Out Of Date. This Type Of Blame Even Applies To Experiences Of Actual Violence Or Harassment With Too Many People Believing That It Is Their Fault If They Are Sexually Harassed In The Workplace Or At School, Abused By A Partner Or Are A Victim Of Sexual Violence. Our Society Encourages This View, And In Turn, That Keeps People Isolated And Alone, Rather Than Providing Them The Opportunity To Get Involved In Collective Struggles Against Such Common Experiences.
