“From a nonpatriarchal metaethical standpoint, however, Singer's and Regan's theoretical similarities are as significant as their differences. In particular, both Singer's utilitarian theory and Regan's rights approach are developed within a framework of patriarchal norms, which includes the subordinatin of emotion to reason, the privileging of abstract principles of conduct, the perception of ethical discussion as a battle between adversaries, and the presumption that ethics shoudl function as a means of social control.”

“الصناعة هي المفتاح الأوحد للتنميه في العالم الثالث والتساؤل المطروح لمقلدي قاسم أمين:ائتوني ببرنامج واحد عبرالسنين ومنذنشأة هذا الفكر البراغماتي إلى اليوم قدم رؤية واضحة حول التصنيع والتنمية الحقيقة,لايوجد,انه صفر في الواقع...والحقيقة مارأيناه , تفاهات وقشور جئ بها من الخارج باسم التطور والتقدم...والمحصلة تحرير المرأه والاختلاط”

“It's one of my jobs to fret about his arteries, one of the many personal responsibilities that men subconsciously off-load onto their wives, not because they're all jerks but because that's just part of the labor agreement. Unmarried men, it's true, die fatter, younger, filthier, sadder, than their married friends, if they even have friends, because that's another thing a wife is responsible for, friends, except I'm a bust in that department, which is why I have to go extra hard on his arteries.”

“I am tired that today’s world system punishes women: worships them in words, hates them in deeds, and does not protect them. I am tired that the consequences of “masculine games” — like war — are always paid by women, children, and the weaker ones. I am tired that the economy and society exploit women economically, emotionally, and physically — as workers, as mothers, as women, as the glue that holds families together.”

“[Emma, a fanfiction writer] says she feels like she has more in common, now, with that twelve-year-old girl [that she was] than with the professor she has seemed to become. "It is just sheerly for fun," Emma says of fandom. "It is grace freely given. It is joy shared without consideration of compensation or payback." To her, it's the opposite of work; it's play. [...] Fandom is about reclaiming that play space for "productive selfishness," she says, and "the assignment of your time according to whatever the fuck you feel like, instead of what would be most efficient, or most advantageous to others. It's as important to me as eating healthy or getting exercise.”
