Having been raised by grassroots organizers -- people shutting down freeways, protesting shootings -- I take personal offense at this.

"If women can get their shit together then is must be easy, right? It's not like they can do hard things like science"

There's been no focus on which political movements have worked in local context & what it takes for a protest to affect policy change.
