What's It All About: Ableism

If the implied imperative of sexism is something like: "Women must be dominated and subservient", then what do we think is the implied imperative of ableism for people with disabilities?

• You must be made normal, acceptable
• You must be covered up, disguised, hidden
• You must be less disturbing, disruptive, upsetting
• You must be eliminated, phased out
• You need protection, supervision, monitoring
• You must make us feel good, otherwise you'll make us feel bad

I think all of these describe part of what people with disabilities experience as "ableism". At the same time, I don't think it's enough to apply the "ableism" label to, "all bad things that happen to a disabled person."

So, what IS ableism all about?
