Panels Redux (the Quiet Voices are Louder on Paper Remix)

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

I for one was fascinated by the depth and breadth of ideas on display at g/t, and would like to hear more. This is the first time I'm trying something like this, so we'll see if it works.

I'm going to repost some (as many as I can remember) of the prompt questions as top level comments to this post. Anyone who wants to contribute, please reply to the appropriate comment. If you have a question of your own, please follow the format I've used and add a top level comment of your own. I'll then add it to the master list.

Rules: fairly standard, in so far as respect and tolerance for diversity of opinion. With one addition: we are a community so we should be just that tiny bit gentler/more careful to be sure we remain the stunning bunch of intelligent, thoughtful women we are. <3 <3 <3

Re: 13. Everything I know in life I learned from...

Yes, but you have to be willing to look into yourself to be able to learn from them.

You need to be able to park your cultural learnings at the door and understand the context. That was something I definitely learned when I was in the US when Barak Obama notimated Sonia Sotomayor to the supreme court. The cultural difference about what kind of bigotted racist comments were "allowed" from public figures are not something that would be accepted here.
