‘Lived experience’ is valued in activism – but is it doing more harm than good?

@katesummers.bsky.social Hi Kate, I attended (online) the 'lived experience' and social welfare workshop in the LSE last year - I thought this Conversation article I wrote (published yesterday) might be of interest to you.

Through interviews with activists, I examine how humility, listening, and collective action can move us beyond guilt toward real social transformation.

This piece means a lot to me, and I’m grateful to everyone who supported me in getting it published!

The alleviation of women's abuse "is made less likely by the mandated subservience of women by Christian fundamentalists. What is especially disappointing...is the docile acceptance by so many strong Christian women of their subjugation & restricted role." - Jimmy Carter (RIP)

The complementarian argument often claims that human sexuality reflects male headship because “men penetrate and women receive.” This is used to suggest that penetration symbolises male dominance, while reception reflects female submission.
