life childhood late
It's never to late for a happy childhood.
hope emotion unruly
Hope is a very unruly emotion.
crazy littles care
Writers - we're a little crazy about how much we care about it. We spend a lot of time fussing. At least, I do.
gay female males
Whatever the gender of the participants, all pornography including male-male gay pornography is an imitation of the male-female, conqueror-victim paradigm, and almost all of it actually portrays or implies enslaved women and master.
careers
How can I combine career and family?
believe i-believe bottom
I believe that change comes from the bottom, not the top.
unique years example
I didn’t hear words that were accurate, much less prideful. For example, I never once heard the word clitoris. It would be years before I learned that females possessed the only organ in the human body with no function than to feel pleasure. (If such an organ were unique to the male body, can you imagine how much we would hear about it—and what it would be used to justify?)
knowing creative inspire
Knowing About Victoria Woodhull inspires women to be daring, outrageous and creative.
circles two political
If you consider that the gender roles are just political, then what you come to see is that the full circle of human qualities is divided up so that two-thirds are masculine and one-third is feminine. Women are missing more of their human qualities, so you'll find us on the fore-front of trying to change this.
family sex believe
The family is the basic cell of government: it is where we are trained to believe that we are human beings or that we are chattel, it is where we are trained to see the sex and race divisions and become callous to injustice even if it is done to ourselves, to accept as biological a full system of authoritarian government.
names justice double-standard
It still may take some explaining, but many more women are keeping their birth names (and not calling them maiden names, with all the sexual double standards that implies).
sex race liberty
How ever sugarcoated and ambiguous, every form of authoritarianism must start with a belief in some group's greater right to power, whether that right is justified by sex, race, religion or all four.
feminist capitalism patriarch
Overthrowing capitalism is too small for us. We must overthrow the whole...patriarch!
home years childhood
It feels as if childhood sexual abuse or domestic abuse of women in the home has increased but actually if you ask women of 60 or 70 years old, the incidence is about the same. We just didn't know it.
