“Disrespect also can take the form of idealizing you and putting you on a pedestal as a perfect woman or goddess, perhaps treating you like a piece of fine china. The man who worships you in this way is not seeing you; he is seeing his fantasy, and when you fail to live up to that image he may turn nasty. So there may not be much difference between the man who talks down to you and the one who elevates you; both are displaying a failure to respect you as a real human being and bode ill.” MenWayHumansMayRealFormTurnsDifferencesHuman BeingsPerfectFantasyPiecesFailingSeeingHe ManFineWorshipIllChinaGoddessNastyDisrespectPedestalReal HumanPerfect WomanWorship YouFine China Author:Lundy Bancroft
“We urgently need a debate about the best ways of supporting families in modern America, without blinders that prevent us from seeing the full extent of dependence and interdependence in American life.

“Arrogance is a weed which grows upon a dunghill; it is from the rankness of the soil that she has her height and spreadings: witness, clowns, fools, and fellows, who from nothing, are lifted up some few steps on fortune's ladder: where, seeing the glorious representment of honour above them, they are so eager to embrace it, that they strive to leap thither at once, and by over-reaching themselves in the way, they fail of the end, and fall.” WayEndsFallGrowsStepsGrowing UpFailingSeeingFoolFellowsEmbraceFortuneStriveWitnessHeightArroganceGloriousSoilReachingLeapHonourWeedLaddersClown Author:Owen Feltham
