[on sexual politics] The Golden Rule works for men as written, but for women it should go the other way around. We need to do unto ourselves as we do unto others.

Where men come to and women come together most intimately in sexuality in the home has become suffused with violence.

In order to make a choice, you need the power to see there is one.

Women, we tend to become whole people by venturing outside of the home, learning to aspire, to achieve, to deal with conflict - all these qualities that are wrongly called masculine.

It's not that women are less corruptible than men are, it's that women have had less chance to become corrupt.

Behave like everything you do matters.

Too much of our lives corresponds to the 'lost-wallet' theory of life. You lose something, spend a long time finding it, and then feel grateful to be back where you started.
