witty circles political
It doesn't matter where we begin the personal/political circle, but it matters desperately that we complete it.
boys roles gender
When the gender role starts to descend, boys get into the masculine box.
integrity acting matter
The act of acting morally is behaving as if everything we do matters.
mother years world
In retrospect, perhaps the biggest reason my mother was cared for but not helped for twenty years was the simplest: Her functioning was not that necessary to the world.
unhappy mysterious unhappy-family
Happy or Unhappy, families are all mysterious.
may violence add
From pacifist to terrorist, each person condemns violence - and then adds one cherished case in which it may be justified.
girl clever boys
The gender prism is just descending upon us. For instance, when we're girls of nine or 10 we may be climbing trees and saying, "I know what I want. I know what I think." And then suddenly at 11 or 12, the gender role takes hold, and adults tell us, "How clever of you to know what time it is." It happens to boys, too and even sooner - between five and eight. Before that, boys cry and express uncertainty.
workout women power
Men should think twice before making widow hood woman's only path to power.
inspirational discomfort i-can
The only thing I can't stand is discomfort.
work double-standard care
Because I have work to care about, it is possible that I may be less difficult to get along with than other women when the double chins start to form.
men race diversity
Clearly no one knows what leadership has gone undiscovered in women of all races, and in black and other minority men.
class ideas racist
I wouldn't want to generalize, but we still do live in a society that's sexist and racist and addicted to class and has the ridiculous idea that if you have money you're smarter, which Donald Trump by himself should be able to disprove.
change shoes feet
If the shoe doesn't fit, must we change the foot?
talking president movement
What has the women's movement learned from Geraldine Ferraro's candidacy for vice president? Never get married.
