Yeah. It hurts. So now what?

Kate commented on my post Because it Hurts:

While I'm proud to call myself a feminist and happy to share my views on gender politics whenever such subjects come up, you're not going to see me at a protest or a women's shelter any time soon. Because I'd rather not think about it. Because I can't stand to see it. Because it hurts too much.

I'm sure there are many women out there who know there's something deeply wrong with society, but don't fight against it because of the pain or the stigma or the perceived futility. 


What can we women do when fighting sexism hurts so badly?
