Toban B. sent us two pairs of photographs showing feminist activism and backlash (images found here) at the University of Western Ontario. These posters, and their defacement, nicely demonstrate how resistance to oppression is met with counter-resistance. Until inequality is challenged, things often seem to be just fine; when groups stand up and demand equality, we suddenly see how fiercely people will defend their privilege.
