Pleasure is a sensation. It is written into our bodies; it is our experience of delight, of joy. ... Pleasure will become a marker, a compass pointing to emotional true north.

The hardest times for me were not when people challenged what I said, but when I felt my voice was not heard.

At a time when efforts are being made to eradicate discrimination between the sexes in the search for social equality and justice, the differences between the sexes are being rediscovered.

I find the question of whether gender differences are biologically determined or socially constructed to be deeply disturbing.

Everything about women is in perpetual crisis.

While men represent powerful activity as assertion and aggression, women in contrast portray acts of nurturance as acts of strength.

It all goes back, of course, to Adam and Eve - a story which shows among other things, that if you make a woman out of a man, you are bound to get into trouble.
