		<description>&quot;&lt;i&gt;If I had the opportunity to speak with them, would they listen to me?&lt;/i&gt;&quot;

no, they wouldn&#039;t, or they might for a short time, and then stop.  i know this from personal experience.  one or two might actually listen, but then she&#039;d be ostracized by the rest.

fortunately, there are feminists of all types who do listen, and even understand people of trans experience.  so all hope is not lost.

but of the women&#039;s space crew, i&#039;m afraid there&#039;s very little listening, lots of assumptions based on stereotypes decades old, and lots of judgments based on those stereotypes.

i always found it odd how a group of people so oppressed by a set of stereotypes would themselves oppress another group based on their own stereotypes.</description>
