Natives have more of a<br />support structure and sense of the "proud histories" the nation tells<br />itself. There is some natural moment for a native to say "you can't treat people<br />this way."<br /><br />It relies on an enormous basic belief in personal unworthiness among these<br />women. How long have they been groomed to feel this way about themselves? They<br />end up feeling guilty for "stealing" if they do take a lunch break. This suits<br />management fine, especially because it's invisible. If no one can talk about it<br />no one has to think through their role, and everyone involved in the<br />exploitation can feel like a good-enough person.<br /><br />I'm seeing this alarming passivity in the face of gleeful predation all over the<br />place. I think some kind of strong spiritual belief may be the only way to<br />resist the dehumanization going on. If we are just gene-driven machines, then<br />what is our worth at the end? Each is a speck on a speck, and it's hard for<br />people to sacrifice or display bravery in that situation. The brave one can do<br />what is right because she knows there is something more. <br /><br />Or maybe there are other ways. For now though, they are hypnotized by the<br />perceived smallness of their condition and it's a lie.<br /><br />Best of luck to you and these women you hope to help. Oh I do hope you give these<br />hotels hell one day...Michael Stantonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817583770087094918noreply@blogger.com
