What we have been raised to think of as inevitable - division and hierarchy, monotheism and nation states - actually accounts for less than 10 percent of human history.

When you stand up for yourself and try to be autonomous and self-determining, you're called a lot of names that we all know and that are very common. You may lose your job. You may lose custody of your child. You may be blamed for the failure of your marriage even though it was the man who couldn't tolerate an equal relationship.

Democracy is mob rule with income taxes.

Sexism is not inevitable. It's only about controlling reproduction and therefore controlling women.

Women have two choices: Either she's a feminist or a masochist.

There is always one true inner voice. Trust it.
