The number of times I have felt slighted because of my gender has been countless. The number of times my male (and female) counterparts have silenced me, or taken me less seriously, are many. People will not acknowledge a problem that exists, if it does not exist in their world. If they do not experience the slights because they are any combination of rich, white, or male. We have come to a point where people will accept the presence of 'White Privilege' as a concept, but they do not truly believe that their accomplishments are any easier to come by as a result. And they do not care. Why would they when the establishment is in their favour? I have come to learn many things about being female. I have learnt that some times we play a role in our own destruction. We wait to be rescued, or to be handed a hall pass, because for many years we have not been expected to excel on our own merit. We wait for mentors, without realising that mentors pick people in whom they see something ...
I watched Jeremy play and become his fan because it is fun to watch. Linsanity is the most exciting period I had with Knick. Now Lin is gone and Net coming to NY. There are still a lot of die-hard Knicks's fans. I wish they could share their experiences - WHY they become Knicks's fan and what's their most enjoyable moments and what they expected from this team. Thanks
