Sorry I took a while to reply, I was waiting until my cold had stopped making me feel quite so stupid. Still feeling a bit fuzzy, so my apologies if this is blah.
And it will always be frustrating if one ends up thinking 'if only they knew more! they just don't have the knowledge!' than to admit many don't want the knowledge and it wouldn't matter how much an individual put themselves out on the front line to 'host' said conversations.
This is definitely something I have trouble with. I really like explaining things to people (had my health not interfered I'd likely be a maths lecturer), and have had some really positive experiences explaining social justice stuff to others. But I've also had some very bad ones, and it's always very draining (and thus I really appreciate you spending your own limited forks on me!). I think this conversation has helped me realise that I need to give up on aiming my posts at The Entire World because there's just too many people in that world who will suck me dry.
