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

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.

It's never to late for a happy childhood.

Some women and men seem to need each other.

The gender prism is just descending upon us. For instance, when we're girls of nine or 10 we may be climbing trees and saying, "I know what I want. I know what I think." And then suddenly at 11 or 12, the gender role takes hold, and adults tell us, "How clever of you to know what time it is." It happens to boys, too and even sooner - between five and eight. Before that, boys cry and express uncertainty.

I can't tell the difference between my work life and my private life - it's all the same to me.

I've only ever met one woman who actually was a prostitute of her own free will. She didn't have a pimp. She could pick and choose her customers. That's so rare.
