“I HAVE no patience with the hypothesis occasionally expressed, and often implied, especially in tales written to teach children to be good, that babies are born pretty much alike, and that the sole agencies in creating differences between boy and boy, and man and man, are steady application and moral effort. It is in the most unqualified manner that I object to pretensions of natural equality. The experiences of the nursery, the school, the University, and of professional careers, are a chain of proofs to the contrary.” MenChildrenSchoolBornNaturalDifferencesEffortMoralBoysCareersTeachWrittenObjectsBabyCreatingUniversityBe GoodProofContraryTalesChainsAgencyApplicationSteadySoleHypothesisPretensionNurseryImpliedUnqualifiedNo PatienceProfessional CareerI Have No Patience Book:Hereditary Genius: An Inquiry Into Its Laws and Consequences Source: Hereditary Genius: An Inquiry Into Its Laws and Consequences
“Until recently baby production was largely dependent on slave labour; as soon as women are allowed to answer the question "Would you like to squeeze as many objects the size of a watermelon out of your body as it takes to kill you?" they generally answer "No, thank you." This leads to falling birthrates everywhere women are not kept enslaved and ignorant of the alternatives.” BodyFallAnswersObjectsBabySlaveSizeProductionsYour BodyIgnorantAlternativesDependentLabourSlave Labour Author:James Nicoll
“Anyone who has breast-fed knows two things for sure: The baby wants to be fed at the most inopportune times, in the most inopportune places, and the baby will prevail.... And so the baby should, and the mom, too. Sometimes a breast is a sexual object, and sometimes it's a food delivery system, and one need not preclude nor color the other.” KnowsWantNeedsShouldTwoSometimesObjectsColorBabyMomTwo ThingsBreastsFedsDelivery Author:Anna Quindlen
“And I was very successful at baby photography... Strange isn't it? Because some of my portraits of babies were - I used dramatic lighting, shadow lighting, and I didn't use flash. We didn't have flash in those days, we just had floodlights, and I was photographing babies as I would an object - an inanimate object, for that matter.” MatterUseUsedSuccessfulObjectsStrangeBabyPhotographyShadowDramaticFlashPortraitsLightingInanimate Objects Author:Julius Shulman
“When a female character sets herself on fire in an effort to interrupt her culture's violent abuse of disenfranchised people, or physically tortures and punishes her guardian rapist, or picks up a gun and fights back in ways that make her not pretty, or aggressively rejects her role as the object of desire, or even when she waddles off into the woods to squat and have a baby without the safety and expertise of hospitals and doctors, these are the kinds of violences and stories we can learn from.” PeopleWayKindCharacterStoriesDesireCultureFightingEffortRolesFireViolenceObjectsBabyPicksGunFemaleDoctorsAbuseSafetyWoodsViolentTortureRejectsHospitalsGuardianExpertiseFemale CharactersSquatNot PrettyDisenfranchisedObjects Of Desire Author:Lidia Yuknavitch
“I panicked when my son, Jett, stopped eating baby food. He's only two but his food vocabulary is fantastic. He likes my baked tilapia and string beans with chopped garlic. But he really likes pizza.
