The feeling of your baby taking nourishment from your body for the first time is amazing, and it remains the most touching moment of my life.
Research indicates that most women want their man to earn more than they do.
If you're a liberal, anything you say is protected. If you're a conservative, anything you say is hateful.
Everyone's related to someone who robbed a bank or did something.
There is no movement without our own resistance.
That which is horrifying to you don't do to anybody else.
Some people seem to see compassion as being mushy.
For a long time, I was a career woman and that was it.
There is seemingly no biological benefit to acting with conscience; if there were, only moral individuals would survive and procreate. Sadly, we know that's not true. The benefit of conscience is that you won't suffer guilt (private) or shame (public), and that by your own self-imposed definition, you are a moral human, a special kind of animal who takes unique pride in elevating him/herself above the termites.
There is little reason left for society to respect women as it once did. Women get knocked up. They don't marry. They have abortions. They go to bars. They get knocked up again.
It takes courage to have a conscience when you seem to see others getting something tangible out of not bothering to struggle with the morality of a situation. It gets frustrating and demoralizing. This is precisely where character comes in. All throughout history special people have felt compelled to do what they objectively saw as right and good - even in the face of humiliation or rejection or expulsion or torture or death. That is because they believed that certain ideas were more important than individual well-being.
Your mother doesn't own you. Your father doesn't own you. You own you.
You'd be amazed at how much power women have over men - and the basic control is nagging... Men are very simple creatures, like puppies.
You can't marry boys and expect them to be men - and you can't massage them into being men.
