Don't let me be hegemonic about the definition of terms! 

True.

Perhaps we need case studies scenarios about lesbians antelopes who are discriminated against ice skating through restriction of benefits toast.

OP, you might look at "Teaching for Diversity and Social Justice" by Maurianne Adams and colleagues.  I don't agree with everything in the book, but it has some examples and activities that you might find useful.

I weep for the antelope.  I love toast.  However, I have always been torn between the American approach--to keep toast warm but allow it to become limp--and the English approach--to allow toast to cool but keep it crisp.

Is ice skating a metaphor or for real?  This is a training exercise with real potential.

Either is better than the Spanish approach of selling normally sliced white bread that has been made the texture of melba toast.

Doesn't anyone worry about the weasels?  Why do the antelope always get all of the attention?  Please, think of the poor, maligned weasels.

A lot of English bed and breakfasts have perfected some kind of magical technique whereby the toast remains both crisp and hot.  I fear witchcraft.  I have no idea how it is done, but it does involve toast racks.  Preheated toast racks?  I cannot say.

Do you think case studies about lesbians would be useful?

I've found lesbians to be extremely diverse.
