burden children count developing either everywhere global home men pretend raising reward work
Everywhere in the world, men place all or most of the burden of raising children and maintaining the home on women, but pretend that this burden is not work; they do not reward it as work or count it as work in global accounting, in either developing
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.
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.
littles outlaw feels
All the women I know feel a little like outlaws.
adventure disaster
Even disasters -- there are always disasters when you travel -- can be turned into adventures.
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 men radical-feminism
All men are rapists and that's all they are
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.
eye milk tvs
Marriage accustomed one to the good things, so one came to take them for granted, but it magnified the bad things, so they came to feel as painful as a grain in one's eye.

loneliness mean people
loneliness is not a longing for company, it is a longing for kind. And kind means people who can see you who you are, and that means they have enough intelligence and sensitivity and patience to do that.
simple over-you trying
Nothing is ever simple. What do you do when you discover you like parts of the role you're trying to escape?
doors tides body
I have opened all the doors in my head. I have opened all the pores in my body. But only the tide rolls in.
i-love-you romantic short-love
Losing the future is the best thing that ever happened to me.
expression people kitchen
S and M is only the expression in the bedroom of an oppressive-submissive relation which can happen also in the kitchen or at the factory, can happen between people of any gender. There is obviously something titillating about these relationships, but it isn't the sexual components that makes them ugly, they're uglier elsewhere. Nothing sexual is depraved. Only cruelty is depraved, and that's another matter.
