Which strategies are used by social activists to shift the balance?

To be a feminist in 2017 is still walking a thin line

Yet, no matter the critics, there is still plenty of work to do

To prepare people to this world, we carve them into boxes

We trap people into narratives

Even our meta stories are biased.The Matrix goes very deep
