jobs pie feminism
Feminism has never been about getting a job for one woman. It's about making life more fair for women everywhere. It's not about a piece of the existing pie; there are too many of us for that. It's about baking a new pie.
children thinking law
A lot of the people who are supposed to be enforcing the crime, enforcing the law, are also criminals. They've suppressed something in their childhood and they don't want to think they themselves were sexually abused as children or they are abusing their own children and they're sitting on a bench and they either can't admit it, won't admit it, depending on how deeply buried it is.
writing creative-writing written
I do not like to write - I like to have written.
two feminist choices
Women have two choices: Either she's a feminist or a masochist.
law justice battered-women
Law and justice are not always the same.
men talking masculine-and-feminine
If we keep on talking about masculine and feminine and following those stereotypes, then we will make women suppress and despise their so called masculine qualities and men suppress and despise their so called feminine ones, and that's where all the trouble starts.
simple views feminism
Feminism starts out being very simple, and it ends up being a world view that questions hierarchy altogether.
thinking games people
I think that we need to change the culture, not blame the people that are playing the only game that exists.
world changing-the-world fit
We're changing ourselves to fit the world instead of changing the world to fit women.
marriage men gambling
Someone once asked me why women don't gamble as much as men do and I gave the commonsensical reply that we don't have as much money. That was a true but incomplete answer. In fact, women's total instinct for gambling is satisfied by marriage.
children unique self
But somewhere within each of us, buried at varying depths depending on the age and degree of neglect or abuse, shame or coercion we endured, there is a resistant, daydreaming, rebellious, creative, unique child -- a true self who is waiting.
race half show-me
Show me something that is not transformed by the other half of the human race.
home men feminist
Women are not going to be equal outside the home until men are equal in it.
empathy stories want
I want us to organize, to tell the personal stories that create empathy, which is the most revolutionary emotion.
