And then think a few thoughts further, to "How can I fix it?" and realize there's nothing I can reasonably do which isn't already being done, and, at my most engaged, I could cheer-lead established efforts being lead by people with more social capital than me. So... consciousness raised and subsequently tamped back down, I suppose.

> there's nothing I can reasonably do which isn't already being done You can't change the world by yourself but we all play a necessary role: Politely and respectfully speak up where people are not aware. IMHO no individual, no matter what their social capital, can substitute for people seeing and hearing these things from their peers. Also, we tend to be follow the herd; even in an angry stampede, one voice can make several others in the herd slow down and think.
