"Face the light"

My mother told me that I have his "I'm trying to be patient and friendly but would really like to be on my own" smile, yesterday. This made me happy.

I'm a lot more confident about public speaking now but speaking about my father at his funeral... He hated public speaking even more than I do & yet gave a very moving speech at my wedding so I must do him proud. Understated, dry humour is what he'd appreciate. I can do that.

It is no more acceptable to tell me I really am a feminist because I believe in gender equality (and certainly not to make me write statements confirming this to get a job) than it is to tell me I am really a Christian because I believe in helping the poor & sick.

We really do need to extend the concept of secularism to political ideologies and movements as James argues at the end here:https://areomagazine.com/2018/12/18/postmodern-religion-and-the-faith-of-social-justice/ …

Someone could hold all the nicest values about brotherhood & caring for the vulnerable found in Islam but actually be a Christian or a Hindu or an atheist. Similarly, one can believe in gender equality but be a humanist or a liberal or an egalitarian rather than a feminist.

It is also OK to be critical of either of those ideologies and argue that they are not defined by their simple & positive slogans. But even if they were, that doesn't mean they own those positive attributes and people can only hold them by identifying with the ideologies.

You don't have to identify as a feminist if you believe in gender equality any more than you have to identify as a Muslim if you believe in peace. Even if you think those slogans are true statements about the ideologies/movements, there's also more to them in theory & practice

It's true that many feminists do this. However, so do the majority of non-feminists. Feminism certainly doesn't own the drive for political, economic & social equality. 1/2https://twitter.com/UN_Women/status/1081469111975272448 …

I'm not sure "taking on the role of public intellectuals" even makes sense. Intellectuals write & say stuff. If enough of the "public" are interested in the stuff they write & say, suddenly they are *public* intellectuals. The only way not to be one is to stop saying anything.https://twitter.com/JoshuaGrubbsPhD/status/1081277328582422528 …

And now
@ConceptualJames is talking gloomily in Lord of the Ring references which I cannot follow. This seldom bodes well. Come back, Mr Frodo!pic.twitter.com/2uRh9xxfGkShow this threadThanks. Twitter will use this info to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
I seem to have lost the ability to write powerful & persuasive sentences just when I need it most. I am warning you, brain, either you start co-operating with me or I will be forced to submerge you in wine until you see sense.
