thinking never-quit kind
I never quite trust futurists because I think they're kind of telling us what they think our future should be.
strong giving use
No one can give us power. If we aren’t part of the process of taking it, we won’t be strong enough to use it.
inspirational success night
Rich People plan for three generations Poor people plan for Saturday night
strong-women taken power
Power can be taken, but not given. The process of the taking is empowerment in itself.
together information use
The highest use of the Web is getting the information and identifying the places and the possibility of being together physically.
strong children mean
We are still in various kinds of patriarchal systems. The very definition of patriarchy is that men control women as the means of reproduction, so the idea that a woman's main role is to have children often means society wants more workers, more soldiers. The idea that how many children we have should be controlled by the family, the church, the nation - by anyone but women themselves - is still very deep and very strong.
funny marriage witty
I have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine marriage and a career.
war dirty army
Any woman who chooses to behave like a full human being should be warned that the armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke. That's their natural and first weapon. She will need her sisterhood.
oxytocin five-senses hormones
It turns out that we literally don't empathize unless we're physically present - that the oxytocin, the famous "tend and befriend" hormone is not produced unless we're present with all five senses.
moving-on people feminist
The future depends entirely on what each of us does every day; a movement is only people moving.
money giving world
It is more rewarding to watch money change the world than watch it accumulate.
mother children father
Most American children suffer too much mother and too little father.
pimp free-will mets
I've only ever met one woman who actually was a prostitute of her own free will. She didn't have a pimp. She could pick and choose her customers. That's so rare.
reality generations needs
We need to remember across generations that there is as much to learn as there is to teach.
