powerful men dominance
Control over a woman is the only form of dominance most men possess, for most men are merely subjects of more powerful men.
hate men radical-feminism
All men are rapists and that's all they are
men color age
Women are afraid in a world in which almost half the population bears the guise of the predator, in which no factor - age, dress, or color - distinguishes a man who will harm a woman from one who will not.
fall mean men
My feelings about men are the result of my experience. I have little sympathy for them. Like a Jew just released from Dachau, I watch the handsome young Nazi soldier fall writhing to the ground with a bullet in his stomach and I look briefly and walk on. I don’t even need to shrug. I simply don’t care. What he was, as a person, I mean, what his shames and yearnings were, simply don’t matter.
hate feminist feminism
'I hate discussions of feminism that end up with who does the dishes,' she said. So do I. But at the end, there are always the damned dishes.
men feminism dominance
The same men who are blind and deaf to feminism are acutely sensitive to what threatens their dominance and privilege.
soul littles chaos
Oh, God, why don't I remember that a little chaos is good for the soul?
real home men
For men to focus on controlling women's reproduction to solve a society's problems seems nothing short of mad or, at best, superstitious. But men's superstition or insanity has real and dire consequences for the women who are its object. And states, too, home in on women's bodies, perhaps to create the illusion that men are in control of uncontrollable forces. Indeed, almost all governments try to control women's bodies and regulate their appearance in some way.
life struggle views
The view of life as a struggle for power generates a language in which life has no significance and only power matters.
littles outlaw feels
All the women I know feel a little like outlaws.
civilization goal feminist
My goal in life is to change the entire social and economic structure of western civilization, to make it a feminist world.
fear self house
Fear is a question. What are you afraid of and why? Our fears are a treasure house of self-knowledge if we explore them.
family children parenting
To nourish children and raise them against odds is in any time, any place, more valuable than to fix bolts in cars or design nuclear weapons.
adventure disaster
Even disasters -- there are always disasters when you travel -- can be turned into adventures.
