“Dado que o Estado surgiu da necessidade de manter os antagonismos de classe sob controle, mas dado que surgiu, ao mesmo tempo, em meio ao conflito dessas classes, ele é, via de regra, Estado da classe mais poderosa, economicamente dominante, que se torna também, por intermédio dele, a classe politicamente dominante e assim adquire novos meios para subjugar e espoliar a classe oprimida. Assim, o Estado antigo foi sobretudo o Estado dos donos de escravos para manter os escravos sob controle, como o Estado feudal foi o órgão da nobreza para manter sob controle os camponeses servis e o Estado representativo moderno é o instrumento de espoliação do trabalho assalariado pelo capital.”

Was whatever your child just did really the “dumbest thing you’ve ever seen somebody do”? Was it really the “most ridiculous thing they ever could have done”? Do you really believe that your child is an idiot? Because she now does. Think about that. Because you said it, she now believes it. Bravo.”

“Dads. Do you not realize that your child needs to feel your skin on his? Do you not realize the incredible and powerful bond that skin on skin contact with your daughter will give you?

“Dads. It’s time to show our sons how to properly treat a woman. It’s time to show our daughters how a girl should expect be treated. It’s time to show forgiveness and compassion. It’s time to show our children empathy. It’s time to break social norms and teach a healthier way of life! It’s time to teach good gender roles and to ditch the unnecessary ones. Does it really matter if your son likes the color pink? Is it going to hurt anybody? Do you not see the damage it inflicts to tell a boy that there is something wrong with him because he likes a certain color? Do we not see the damage we do in labeling our girls “tom boys” or our boys “feminine” just because they have their own likes and opinions on things? Things that really don’t matter?”

It’s time to take joy in their facial expressions and their mispronounced words. It’s time to take joy in everything that our kids are.”

She wore her greenest gown;
She turned to the south wind
And curtsied up and down.
She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbor:
"Winter is dead.”
