law practice clothes
Here I am a woman attorney being told I can't practice law in slacks by a judge dressed in drag.
men law two
It's interesting to speculate how it developed that in two of the most anti-feminist institutions, the church and the law court, the men are wearing the dresses.
asking garbage lawyer
The question arises whether all lawyers are the same. This is like asking whether everything that gets into a sewer is garbage.
When a system of oppression has become institutionalized it is unnecessary for individuals to be oppressive.
real racism mind
Women are dirt searchers; their greatest worth is irradicating rings on collars and tables. Never mind real-estate boards' corruption and racism, here's your soapsuds. Everything she is doing is peripheral, expendable, crucial, and non-negotiable. Cleanliness is next to godliness.
mother noble doe
Being a mother is a noble status, right? Right. So why does it change when you put 'unwed' or 'welfare' in front of it?
marriage body married

Countermovements among racists and sexists and nazifiers are just as relentless as dirt on a coffee table. . . . Every housewife knows that if you don't sooner or later dust . . . the whole place will be dirty again.
teamwork fall house
I know we're termites. But if all the termites got together, the house would fall down.
ocean water syrup
You can't dump one cup of sugar into the ocean and expect to get syrup. If everybody sweetened her own cup of water, then things would begin to change.
trying arms helping
Trying to help an oppressed person is like trying to put your arm around somebody with a sunburn.
pain suffering way
There's no way that I know of to avoid pain absolutely, but suffering is the interpretation we choose to place on the pain we encounter.
