feminist skins body
The authority of any governing institution must stop at its citizen's skin.
mean order numbers
Whatever each individual woman is facing; only she knows her biggest challenge. However, if we add up the problems that affect the biggest numbers of women, then issues having to do with physical safety and reproduction are still the biggest. Female bodies are still the battleground, whether that means restricting freedom, birth control and safe abortion in order to turn them into factories, or abandoning female infants because females are less valuable for everything other than reproduction.
witty powerful philosophy
Logic is in the eye of the logician.
heartbreak hilarious funny-love
A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.
atheist jobs believe
It's an incredible con job when you think about it, to believe something now in exchange for something after death. Even corporations with their reward systems don't try to make it posthumous.
past laughing people
There were never that many women stand-up comics in the past because the power to make people laugh is also a power that gets people upset.
relationship marriage married
Being married is like having somebody permanently in your corner. It feels limitless, not limited.
dark shining curiosity
Her searches after knowledge were arbitrary and without context. It was as if she were shining a small flashlight of curiosity into the dark room of the world.
empathy mind body
Empathy is the most radical of human emotions.
thinking emotion employed
I have always employed humor, and I think it's absolutely crucial that we do because, among other things, humor is the only free emotion.
daughter mother children
The father who raises a son to have a profession he once dreamed of, and the mother who uses her daughter as the adult companion her husband is not; the parents who urge their children into accomplishments as status symbols-all these and many more are ways of subordinating a child's authentic self to a parent s needs.
women home play
No man can call himself liberal, or radical, or even a conservative advocate of fair play, if his work depends in any way on the unpaid or underpaid labor of women at home, or in the office.
struggle collective-effort organization
The story of women's struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights
laughter native-american thinking
I think laughter is crucial. Some of the original cultures, like the Dalit and the Native American, don't separate laughter and seriousness.
