Johnson: what can we do?

Johnson talks about ways that we can challenge and “change patterns of exclusion, rejection, privilege, harassment, discrimination, and violence that are everywhere in this society…” according to Johnson the first myth we face is that it’s always has been and always will be. I like the part where he says, “… by choosing paths of greater resistance, as when men don’t take control and women refuse their own subordination.” Basically saying that we think that those are gender norms but we need to break those roles, just because it’s easy to follow them it doesn’t make it right. Like when in the last Johnson piece we read you have to say the words, and talk the talk, in this case you have to walk the walk, and you have to be the change that you want to see in this world.
