"I would like to not get raped. As such, I am a radical.
"I say radical in the sense of requiring the restructuring or demolishment of social norms and institutions in order for something to be comprehensively addressed. For example, this year we were reminded that a radical statement for Black North Americans is: I would like to not be murdered by my government.
"That is a reasonable thing to ask. It is also a radical statement. These are not mutually exclusive categories."
