[Wamvan] Walking for Rape Relief

[Tami Starlight]

Terribly offensive!!

Minimize organizational oppression is NOT OK.

This is but one example of oppression that continues with many of us -
including me.
The idea that organizations are ok because they help women but oppress
others?

That a select few oppressive types within the organization wish people would
forget they did that and have that as their policy. Of course, many at VRR
have no fucking idea - and those in positions of privilege and power within
the organization like that.

Truth is free but freedom is earned with a lot of vigilance.
