“Everything has to be understood in opposition to something else. For some dang reason, the ego prefers to make one side better than the other, so we choose. And we decide males are better than females, America is better than Canada, Democrats are better than Republicans. And for most people, once this decision is made, it is amazing the amount of blindness they become capable of. They really don't see what's right in front of them. Once you see this, it's an amazing breakthrough, and that is the starting place for moving away from dualistic thinking.” PeopleThinkingMadeReasonAmericaMovingSidesDecisionFrontsAmountRepublicanEgoCapableUnderstoodFemaleDemocratMalesStartingMade ItCanadaOppositionBlindnessBreakthroughMoving Away Author:Richard Rohr

“Whatever Scotland was, it was not a matriarchy; whereas the United States was a profoundly matriarchal society - and much more feminine than would be suggested by all that male bravado. That was a front, and a misleading one at that; underneath the male swagger lay a passive acceptance of female dominance - a fact not always appreciated by outsiders.” StatesFactsWould BeUnitedUnited StatesFrontsAcceptanceFemaleLaysMalesFeminineOutsidersPassiveScotlandAppreciatedMisleadDominanceSwaggerBravadoMatriarchy Book:Espresso Tales Source: Espresso Tales
“There's no way you can use water to collect waste in zero gravity. So, basically, our toilet on shuttle operations is a vacuum cleaner. The urinal looks like a Shop-Vac hose.

“As long as 85,000 women are raped every year and 400,000 sexually assaulted in England and Wales alone, it's hard to argue that there isn't a problem. Not to mention the fact that fewer than 1/3 of our MPs are female, that women write only 1/5 front page newspaper articles, that they're less than 1/10 of engineers and that 54,000 a year lose their jobs as a result of maternity discrimination... to name but a tiny sample of issues.
