Yet again, I feel frustrated. "Nonviolent caregiving offers one construction of power which refuses domination, respects embodied willfulness, but does not let abuse go unchallenged... [it] offers hints of peace and of the rice of its violation," says Ruddick in "Notes Toward a Feminist Peace Politics" (123-124). Okay, I understand this idea. My question is how do I implement this as an alternative for war? I am so frustrated with the fact that I am given so much information and ideas and I have no clear way, no instructions as to how I should go about putting these ideas to use. It is utterly maddening. But I suppose that is the point. I need to find my own way. Still if caregiving "refuses domination" and "respects embodied willfulness," maybe that is a good way. I am just left wondering how. That's all. Just how.
