I just was at a panel that featured Carlos last night, and I was going to post about a couple of things he said in regards to women in this group today His anti-racism was inspiring, his attitudes towards women's role in the struggle...not so much, in my opinion. Not terrible, but not great, either.

Got a poster for the event with that picture on it signed by him, though!

Being a member of one minority certainly doesn't preclude you from having privilege in another area, though.
