boys librarian nancy
I was rescued by librarians. It was librarians who said 'maybe you would like to read The Hardy Boys as well as Nancy Drew.' It is true for me, as for so many countless others, that librarians saved my life, my internal life.
ideas people sitting
Probably those three things affect the most people: reproductive freedom, freedom from violence, and democratic families. But there may well be someone sitting at this table who has a great idea to do something else that wouldn't come under those umbrellas and that would really be great, and make all kinds of change.
real men thinking
The premise of most media is that only conflict is newsworthy. And that's just not true. I think for a lot of men, too - certainly for most women - there's enough real conflict without manufacturing it. The media formula is always to have a pro and con, to say there are two sides to any issue, when in fact there may be ten sides.
religious men names
No wonder male religious leaders so often say that humans were born in sin—because we were born to female creatures. Only by obeying the rules of the patriarchy can we be reborn through men. No wonder priests and ministers in skirts sprinkle imitation birth fluid over our heads, give us new names, and promise rebirth into everlasting life.
women equality empowering
A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men.
past answers problem
Clinging to the past is the problem. Embracing change is the answer.
agreement humanity news
Why are solutions not just as newsworthy as problems? The notion that hostility is necessary all the time to create interest and news is not going to help us [humanity] come to agreements and solve the huge problems we have.
men violence culture
The origins of violence against women by men are not biological. If that were the case, it would exist in every culture. And it doesn't exist in every culture.
law justice may
Law and justice are not always the same. When they aren't, destroying the law may be the first step toward changing it.
art life-is happens
The art of life is not controlling what happens to us, but using what happens to us
girl boys thinking
We need to stop raising boys to think that they need to prove their masculinity by being controlling or by not showing emotion or by not being little girls.
inspirational life motivational
Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.
inspirational leadership fun
Far too many people are looking for the right person, instead of trying to be the right person.
daughter courage honesty
We've begun to raise daughters more like sons... but few have the courage to raise our sons more like our daughters.
