changing men roles texture universal women
What's universal is the texture of our relationships. It's evolving. Times are changing with the women's movement. Men's roles are being redefined and, in some ways, they're confused.
tired men giving
I was tired of chasing ghosts, hollow men who were outside my comfort zone, men who had nothing to give me except a rush. It was all I asked for, and all I ever got.
men thinking guilty
It's sad to think that we've gotten to this that we actually have to think about how to go about finding a man. But what's even sadder is that some men make you feel guilty for looking.
men pet like-you
I also discovered that you can get used to a man , much like you do a household pet!
men would-be kind
I would be content being a housewife if I could find the kind of man who wouldn't treat me like one.
fake jonathan love
I think that Jonathan did love me, because you can't fake this stuff.
american-author forever god prayers sure takes time
It takes me forever to say my prayers these days, but I don't care, because this time around, I want to make sure God doesn't have to do any guesswork.
human love
Every human being I know craves love and affection.
bit cook everybody life
I don't live my life as a writer. I'm a mother, an African-American woman, and I do everything that everybody else does - cook and a little bit of cleaning.
complaints increase seeing staff
We are not seeing an increase in complaints but what staff are seeing (is an increase) in the field.
You didn't say anything about being gay. You said everything but that.
business emphasis hope others saying walk yes
I hope that the whole emphasis on the young and old business -- that's not the issue, that's not what they walk away with, because that's not what it's about. He could be white, I could be black. It's not about that. It's about saying yes when others think you should say no.
attempted charged consent hold knowledge life problem risking women
That's part of their problem -- they're cowards. I think that he (Plummer) should be charged with attempted murder for risking my life without my knowledge or consent ... I think that what you (BET) are doing should be applauded because I think more than anything there are women out there that are victims. And I think that we need to hold men accountable for their actions.
add conflict create fuel internal order people situations
There was not a lot of conflict in the book. Most it was internal conflict so we had to externalize it, ... We had to create situations and people to add to the conflict in order to fuel the story ... so you could see what's at stake.
