I have a lot of thoughts about this, some of which I am sure would be deemed somewhat problematic in much of today's climate (which of course does not account for much of the world, just a particular kind of internet-soaked terrain). I find that reality both upsetting and weirdly deadening. I enjoy nuance, and seek it. I don't like sloganeering, I don't like the simplistic hectoring that goes on, and I don't like bullies. I think this is the most misogynistic period I have experienced as still a fairly young woman lucky enough to be on this planet. We are not living in great times for nuance and true compassion. As a teacher, and as a person, I am incredibly worried. I think these times will be looked on very poorly. I find it disturbing. and in my own little opinion, I think the 21st century has really not been one of enlightenment, but more one of narcissism. But I might ring in to Liveline later and see how I get on. WATCH THIS SPACE.
