If you can avoid grinding your teeth at the American use of the dreaded h-word, take a look at this new article from Ragged Edge magazine: . Written by Patrick William Connally, it compares the disablism we experience now with the sexism experienced by women in the '50s and '60s. For 'women' read 'disabled', for 'men' read 'non-disabled' - and then it all begins to make sense.
So what do you reckon? Is this a good comparison to make?

The thesis is spoiled by inaccurate terminology, such as "person with a disability" and the H-word, obviously.
I think that people in the 50's and 60's were interested in comparing temselves to others and making themselves equal to everyone else in society.
