masculine-and-feminine class race
I would put all the efforts to humanize the "masculine" and "feminine" gender roles that are the beginning of a false human hierarchy and normalize race, class and other systems of domination to come.
sex race differences
Sex and race, because they are easy and visible differences, have been the primary ways of organizing human beings into superior and inferior groups and into the cheap labour on which this system still depends.
men race diversity
Clearly no one knows what leadership has gone undiscovered in women of all races, and in black and other minority men.
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.
mean class race
Controlling women as the means of reproduction is made even more necessary by any race or caste or class system. It just comes together, it's just like life. And therefore it's not even practical to be a feminist without being anti-racist or against classism. It just doesn't work.
race half show-me
Show me something that is not transformed by the other half of the human race.
race radical-feminism helping
In every century, there are a handful of writers who help the human race to evolve. Andrea is one of them.

men path power twice
Men should think twice before making widowhood women's only path to power
affects general men taken women
In a general way, anything that affects men is taken more seriously than anything that affects only women.
life writers
I started out life as a writer, and writers write in part because they don't want to talk.
women
Female inferiority is internalised by us. Women need a lot more confidence.
