Are all Muslims to blame for misogyny, homophobia and the murder of atheists because they are embedded in a belief system which includes that shit? Or do they have the agency to pick and choose the values that they feel are good & reject the shit ones?
Because, seriously, if we all are just part of this big power system and power works through us via uncritically accepted discourses (are you sure you hate Foucault?), we might as well give up now. In fact, we are not & things have changed very fast in the last 60 years.

NOT because we all accepted that we are part of a system and its impossible to think any other way than ways which uphold unjust power balances but because we assumed we were not and that we could change things and we did. Every generation less racist, less sexist than the last.
