“The day has gone by when a monk can tear a Hypatia from the pursuit of philosophy and throw her to a rabble of insane monastics to be dragged to a violent death.... Man has made himself a law unto himself, publishing it in his pretended "heavenly" revelations, dogmas, and statutes. Woman is not constructing a law unto herself, and she is putting it forth, not on a pretendedly supernatural, but on a natural basis.” MenMadePhilosophyLawNaturalGoneAtheismTearsBasesPositive AtheismPursuitViolentInsaneRevelationsHeavenlyDogmaPublishingMonkStatutesViolent Death Author:Ellen Battelle Dietrick
“The only method of restoring the natural equality of dignity between men and women, lies in the demolishment of that elaborate theological structure which maintains that woman is made for the possession of man in a sense in which man is not made for woman, and that celibacy, per se, is a state of superior purity. Nature and common sense (not metaphysical sense) demonstrate that there is no good reason why any man or any woman should take, claim, or wield "lordship" over another.” MenShouldMadeStatesReasonLyingNaturalCommonAtheismMen And WomenDignityClaimsMethodStructurePossessionPositive AtheismSuperiorsCommon SenseReason WhyPurityMetaphysicalTheologicalRestoringCelibacyLordshipLying MenWomen Lie Author:Ellen Battelle Dietrick
