“I'm not a big dreamer. I never have been.The only thing I've sort of obviously extracted from the research of dreams is that I don't think there's a specific science you can put on dream psychology. I think that it's up to, obviously, the individual. Obviously, we suppress things, emotions, things during the day - thoughts that we obviously haven't thought through enough, and in that state of sleep when our subconscious or mind just sort of randomly fires off different surreal story structures, and when we wake up we should pay attention to these things.” ThinkingShouldMindHas BeensDifferentStatesEnoughStoriesDreamBigsIndividualSleepPayEmotionAttentionPsychologyFireHavensResearchWake UpStructurePay AttentionDreamerSubconsciousSurreal Author:Christopher Nolan

But we haven't yet established the principle (much less the fact) that men can and should do 'women's jobs': that homemaking and child-rearing are as much a man's responsibility, too, and that those jobs in which women are concentrated outside the home would probably be better paid if more men became secretaries, file clerks, and nurses, too.” IfsMenShouldChildrenFactsHomeJobsPayResponsibilityPrinciplesHavensEqualPaidEqualityInstanceNurseSecretaryFilesClerksEqual PayChild RearingHomemaking Author:Gloria Steinem
