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.
order belief injustice
There is a naive belief that injustice only had to be pointed out in order to be cured.
work people waiting
People waste more time waiting for someone to take charge of their lives than they do in any other pursuit.
freedom choices
The point is less what we choose than that we have the power to make a choice.
nature moving lines
Nature doesn't move in a straight line, and as part of nature, neither do we.
unique way pressure
You're a unique person. You should do what you're suited to do. We all should. It's the only way to be happy. That pressure is all outside. It's external.
process lifelong
An education is not a thing one gets, but a lifelong process.
men golden way
... the Golden Rule works for men as written, but for women it should go the other way around. We need to do unto ourselves as we do unto others.
mother unique people
Most of us are living out the unlived lives of our mothers, because they were not able to become the unique people they were born to be.
children lasts masculine
You're afraid to be close to women. Because it's not masculine to be close to women. The last time you were close to a woman, you were a child.
bullshit feminist humanity
I would say that each of us has only one thing to gain from the feminist movement: Our whole humanity. Because gender has wrongly told us that some things are masculine and some things are feminine... which is bullshit.
