doors unity movement
Unity in a Movement situation can be overrated. If you were the Establishment, which would you rather see coming in the door: one lion or five hundred mice?
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
prostitutes don't sell their bodies, they rent their bodies. Housewives sell their bodies when they get married ...
law practice clothes
Here I am a woman attorney being told I can't practice law in slacks by a judge dressed in drag.
thinking oysters pearls
Now, see there. Just because I'm wearing my Super-Dike sweatshirt, you think I'm a lesbian. I guess if I were wearing a string of pearls, you'd think I was an oyster.

I know we're termites. But if all the termites got together, the house would fall down.

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.
depression moving daddy
Unless you are political or intellectual, events like the Depression are seen as personal events. We thought of the Depression as something that made the pipes freeze; we thought it hit us because Daddy didn't move his taxi stand and because he broke his hip. It was only later I found out it was a national phenomenon.
jobs cancer drinking
... tobacco kills 52,000 people a year from lung cancer, and there's no telling how many lives have been ruined through drinking.But to my knowledge, no one has ever died of a blow job.
