Only when women rebel against patriarchal standards does female muscle become more accepted.

If we keep on talking about masculine and feminine and following those stereotypes, then we will make women suppress and despise their so called masculine qualities and men suppress and despise their so called feminine ones, and that's where all the trouble starts.

Men tend to gain wholeness by acquiring the qualities that are wrongly called feminine.

A rejection of the way a woman speaks is often a way of blaming or dismissing her without dealing with the content of what she is saying.

So why is the sex barrier not taken as seriously as the racial one?

The nineteenth-century wave of feminism was started by older women who had been through the radicalizing experience of getting married and becoming the legal chattel of their husbands (or the equally radicalizing experience of not getting married and being treated as spinsters).

Clinging to the past is the problem. Embracing change is the answer.
