teamwork country teaching
Although our grammar schools are teaching a whole generation computer language to adjust to the technological needs of a Stage II [post survival-focused] society, we have neglected to teach this generation relationship language and conflict resolution skills to address the social and psychological needs of a Stage II society. And when it is taught, in countries like Germany, although called social competence it focuses on workplace teamwork -- still on survival, breadwinner oriented work goals.
average males female
The average full-time working male works more than a full-time working female.
children men abuse
By starving our children of men, we have made them more vulnerable to the very abuse we are trying to prevent.
parent miracle just-being
If my parents had made love a tenth of a second earlier or later, I wouldn't exist. What an enormous miracle, just being given life.
views perspective feminist
Because of the feminist perspective, we have gotten a view of the world that is distorted.
men people political
Ideally there should not be a men's movement but a gender transition movement; only the power of the women's movement necessitates the temporary corrective of a men's movement. And this creates a special challenge for men: There are few political movements filled with healthy people, yet few healthy changes have occurred without political movements.
running husband father
By giving women training to sue a company for a 'hostile environment' if someone tells a dirty joke, we are training women to run to the Government as Substitute Husband (or Father). This gets companies to fear women, but not to respect women. The best preparation we can give women to succeed in the workplace is the preparation to overcome barriers rather than to sue: successful people don't sue, they succeed.
people motivated
Ive always been motivated to stop people from doing dysfunctional things.
intelligent men needs
Women and men look at their life, and women say, What do I need? Do I need more money, or do I need more time? And women are intelligent enough to say, I need more time. And so, women lead balanced lives; men should be learning from women.
giving-up giving pay
I define power as control over one's life. Pay is not about power. Pay is about giving up power to get the power of pay.
past law long
So long as you create laws that define women as victims, as creatures that demand protection, that need bodyguards, you are going to perpetuate the very worst of our sexist past.
mom children dad
At this moment in history, millions of 'working dads' are desiring to do what they do not feel they have the right to do: be more devoted as a dad, less devoted as a worker. This feeling is far more ubiquitous among men executives than women executives in many areas of the world because, for instance, Asia-Pacific women executives today are more than six times as likely to not have children than men executives are. The Asia-Pacific executive man is about six times as likely to be a working dad as an executive woman is to be a working mom.
men creating choices
Men may be way behind in creating choices for themselves, but have actually been quiet supporters of the choices women want for themselves.
home sleep wife
No movement calls [migrant workers] oppressed for providing money for women from whom they are receiving neither cooking nor cleaning; for providing their wives with homes while they sleep on the ground.
