Quote by Prachi Gangwani

“Talking to women and men separately about the same issue(s) made me realize something vital about modern love — we all want the same thing — to have a harmonious relationship, but our maps of getting there are starkly different. Women are discarding the old maps, and rewriting a new trajectory for their lives, while men have only begun to notice the roadblocks. We haven’t bridged the gap when it comes to heterosexual love. The only way we can fix this is if we start talking to each other, instead of at each other.”

“It is in fact a delicate balance between recognising what has been, and often still is, women's distinctive contribution to community, to family life, and acknowledging its worth, resisting its devaluation, while not forever consigning women to being solely responsible for caring.”

“Clans became patrilineal, which inevitably entails male-domination. Naming children for fathers is intrinsically an act of force: it reverses natural mother right. And because it is impossible until recent years to assure paternity, patrilineality requires abuse of women.”

“But the moral?’ ‘That woman, as nature has created her and as man is at present educating her, is his enemy. She can only be his slave or his despot, but never his companion. This she can become only when she has the same rights as he, and is his equal in education and work.”

“Religion, as it is known in the western world in the 19th century, was male religion. Judaism, Christianity and Islam, though they may differed about what sacrament to take when or which day was actually the Sabbath, were in completed agreement on one subject - the status of women. Females were to be regarded as inferior creatures who were divinely intended to be obedient and silent vessels for the production of children and the pleasure and convenience of men. These attitudes not only thrived in the Church but found their way past those great arched doorways to install themselves in a more personal way into the thoughts, feelings and values of every Jewish, Christian or Mohammedan family.”

“Considering the hatred the Hebrews felt towards the asherim, a major symbol of the female religion, it would not be too surprising if the symbolism of the tree of forbidden fruit, said to offer the knowledge of good and evil, yet clearly represented in the myth as the provider of sexual consciousness, was included in the creation story to warn that eating the fruit of this tree has caused the downfall of all humanity. Eating of the tree of the Goddess, which stood by each alter, was as dangerously "pagan" as were Her sexual customs and Her oracular serpents. So into the myth of how the world began, the story that the Levites oferred as the explanation of the creation of all existence, they place the advisory serpent and the woman who accepted its counsel, eating of the tree that gave her the understanding of what "only the gods knew" - the secret of sex - how to create life.”
