What would happen if we listened to children as much as we talked to them?

Women fear endangering men's approval so much, we don't even wait for them to say no. Or else we protect them, even if it means saying no to ourselves.

During the first suffragist wave in this nation, women were possessions, like a table or a chair. So violence toward them was quite condoned. The attitude has diminished, but it's still there.

Now, we've made the revolutionary discovery that children have two parents. A decade ago even the kindly Dr. Spock held mothers solely responsible for children.

Don't think about making women fit the world -- think about making the world fit women."

What would happen if even one generation were raised with respect and without violence?

Women may be the one group that grows more radical with age.
