reality men space
What the women do is become caretakers for the men. In those circumstances, I decided, and many others have, that there's a reality called women's space. There has to be a separate space for women.
art creative god-image
It is the creative potential itself in human beings that is the image of God.
swimming swim like-you
It's like you learn to swim by swimming. You learn courage by couraging.
knowledge cutting despair
cut off from the intuitive knowledge of ontological reason, technical knowledge is directionless and ultimately meaningless. When it dominates, life is deprived of an experience of depth, and it tends toward despair.
thinking assessment imagination
There are and will be those who think I have gone overboard. Let them rest assured that this assessment is correct, probably beyond their wildest imagination, and that I will continue to do so.

If God is male, then the male is God.

Goddess is the deep Source of creating integrity and the Self-affirming be-ing of women.
environmental looks earth
We will look upon the earth and her sister planets as being with us, not for us.
inspiring imagination long
If God is male, then male is God. The divine patriarch castrates women as long as he is allowed to live on in the human imagination.
buddhism islam derivatives
I urge you to sin. But not against these itty-bitty religions, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism-or their secular derivatives, Marxism, Maoism, Freudianism and Jungianism-whic h are all derivatives of the big religion of patriarchy. Sin against the infrastructure itself!
men roles crafts
[W]omen under phallocratic rule are confined to the role of vessels/carriers, directed and controlled by men. Since that role is the basic base reversal of the very be-ing of Voyaging/Spiraling women, when we direct our own Crafts/Vessels we become reversers of that deadly reversal.
feminist way whole
I know that I will be punished just as much for being an itty-bitty feminist as for going the whole way. And so I go the whole way.
doctors gynecologists patient
Few gynecologists recommend to their heterosexual patients the most foolpoof of solutions, namely, misterectomy.
thinking feminist earth
If life is to survive on this planet, there must be a decontamination of the Earth. I think this will be accompanied by an evolutionary process that will result in a drastic reduction of the population of males.
