State Department’s Chief DEI Officer: ‘We’ve Got To Be About Dismantling that Traditional Structure at Every Juncture’

‘We tend to be very resistant to shifts and changes’

EXCERPT:

JOHNSON: “I think there’s a culture of — you know, the culture of misogyny has allowed men to act without consequence, and it becomes part of what we believe is normal, right? And that in order to make any change, we’ve literally got to be about the work of dismantling that traditional structure at every juncture. But how do you do that and appear to be a get along person or a good team worker? And, you know, for some reason, there’s also this very negative stereotype of feminists as being angry people who just don’t smile and don’t know how to have a good time. And I think unfortunately, guess what? We have great time.”
