Ideal mental health, like freedom, exists for one person only if it exists for all people.

exile ... might be the largest new state created by the twentieth century and the psychology of the twenty-first century.

For most women, being seen, having others pay attention to you, is imagined and experienced as more desirable and more powerful than commanding an army or seizing control of the means of production and reproduction.

Sons or fathers, poor men or rich men, sacred or secular: all are homosexual in their worship of everything phallic.

Goddesses never die. They slip in and out of the world's cities, in and out of our dreams, century after century, answering to different names, dressed differently, perhaps even disguised, perhaps idle and unemployed, their official altars abandoned, their temples feared or simply forgotten.

Ideal mental health, like freedom, exists for one person only if it exists for all people.

If women take their bodies seriously and ideally we should then its full expression, in terms of pleasure, maternity, and physical strength, seems to fare better when women control the means of production and reproduction. From this point of view, it is simply not in women's interest to support patriarchy or even a fabled "equality" with men. That women do so is more a sign of powerlessness than of any biologically based "superior" wisdom.
