I wholeheartedly concur – we do not need to demand, take, or pursue power. However, there are issues of equality in terms of fair pay, access to careers/jobs, societal expectations of mothers vs. fathers, stigmatization of those who are unmarried or unable to have children, the “pink tax,” and many other issues. Maybe the matter is less the cause itself, but the vernacular we are ascribing to that cause. I personally will be more careful about the words I chose to use.
