I am insensitive to injustice. Especially gender injustice.

I claim to be a fighter for women’s rights and proudly present my Bachelor’s Thesis in the topic of gender, but when it came to media, I consume to the commercialization of sexuality.

I read something recently that said, "injustice can only be understood when it is (bodily, emotionally) experienced."

I may have experienced those that aroused rage in my system, but without the knowledge of feminism and gender oppression, I will not be able to identify them as sexist remarks. Same goes to racism, and any form of discrimination.

My father once told me, justice does not exist in this world – that’s what the after life is for. It made sense for a second, and I could go on with my life ignorant, until I experience injustice. But it seems like the view of a defeatist.

So how do we fight against gender oppression? How do we fight against racism? How do we prevent poverty?
