“The "female culture" has shifted more rapidly than the "male culture"; the image of the go-get 'em woman has yet to be fully matched by the image of the let's take-care-of-the-kids- together man.

“I just wanted to honor who Emily was. She's just a strong woman. Through my journey of playing her, I found a lot of strength, and I think that I've changed, as a female, in the way that I carry myself.

“Basically what Salomé did with Rilke as a mentor was direct him toward the Russian Orthodox Church, so he could project his love of the divine feminine onto the Virgin Mary. She wanted him to stop the cycle of being disappointed by the ultimate humanity of women. She was like, "You don't want me, you want the Virgin Mary." It's kind of a mystical concept! She also changed Freud's opinion, a little bit too late, about the female psyche, which he had so wrong. If it had been better publicized, it would have changed Western society's perception of the female psyche, too.” IfsWantKindLittlesWantedHumanityBitsChurchOpinionChangedDivineLike YouProjectsLatePerceptionLittle BitConceptsFemaleDirectUltimateWesternToo LateCyclesOrthodoxFeminineDisappointedWant MeMaryMentorMysticalVirginsHis LoveVirgin MaryDivine FeminineWestern SocietyBeing DisappointedOrthodox Church Author:Laura Marling

“In the beginning no power differential existed between male and female. God empowered both with full rights and responsibility to rule outward over all creation, not over each other. As we know all too well, the fall changed everything, precipitating male rule over women and also the rule of some men over other men, a.k.a., patriarchy. Within patriarchy, women no longer derive their value from their Creator, but from men - father, husband, and sons. Within patriarchy, a woman's value is gauged by counting her sons.” MenValuesFallFatherResponsibilityCreationChangedSonHusbandFemalePatriarchyEmpowered Author:Carolyn Custis James
