I sense you've struggled with this as well? I'm just guessing from your immediate understanding. :-)
Glad I got it right. :) Actually I don't have the physical disability negative stereotypes. I think that's why they stood out so much for me in the things you've written.
But, yeah, the "women are inferior" messages -- oooh those can get me! I think that may be the messages that make me react most strongly. I have those "women are inferior" messages etched into my bones too, and have spent my whole life fighting against. Without getting that message off my bones; *sigh*.
Oh yeah, I meant to add *HUGS* to my last comment. Remembering you have some nonjudgemental and supportive friends can be positive medicine too.
