Sexism has never rendered women powerless. It has either suppressed their strength or exploited it.

Giving generously in romantic relationships, and in all other bonds, means recognizing when the other person needs our attention. Attention is an important resource.

Stereotypes abound when there is distance. They are an invention, a pretense that one knows when the steps that would make real knowing possible cannot be taken or are not allowed.

I write these words to bear witness to the primacy of resistance struggle in any situation of domination (even within family life); to the strength and power that emerges from sustained resistance and the profound conviction that these forces can be healing, can protect us from dehumanization and despair.

Without justice there can be no love.

Feminism is a movement to end sexism, sexist exploitation, and oppression.

I often find it easier to be teaching or giving to others, and often struggle with the place of my own pleasure and joy.
