“Upon the union of the male germ cell with the female egg cell, a new cell is created which almost immediately splits into two parts. One of these grows rapidly, creating the human body of the individual with all its organs, and dies only with the individual.” HumansTwoBodyDiesIndividualGrowsCreatingFemaleUnionsMalesCellsEggsOrgansSplitsHuman BodyGerms Author:Christian Lous Lange

“Childbearing is the most consistent of human events. Male and female alike, we have all been gestated inside a woman's body. As a phenomenon, childbearing is seemingly eternal and universal, yet like no other it highlights the gender divide, the singularity of individual experience and sociocultural diversities.” HumansBodyIndividualEventsDiversityEternalFemaleUniversalMalesGenderConsistentPhenomenonDividesHighlightsSingularityWomen's BodiesChildbearing Book:Spilt Milk: Perinatal Loss & Breakdown Source: Spilt Milk: Perinatal Loss & Breakdown
“There are many other (besides testosterone) behaviour-eliciting hormones fundamental for humen well-being, including estrogen and progesterone in females. The fact that complex behavioural patterns can be triggered by a tiny concentration of moleculas coursing through the bloodstream, and that different animals of the same species generate different amounts of these hormones, is something worth thinking about when it's time to judge such matters as free will, individual responsibility, and law and order.” ThinkingWellsDifferentMatterFactsLawOrderIndividualAnimalResponsibilityJudgingEvolutionAmountFemaleFundamentalsSpeciesComplexesIncludingPatternsTinyWell BeingConcentrationFree WillBehaviourHormonesLaw And OrderTestosteroneIndividual ResponsibilityEstrogenDifferent Animals Author:Carl Sagan

“Employers should not be able to impose their religious beliefs on female employees, ignoring their individual health decisions and denying their right to reproductive care.

“Whatever each individual woman is facing; only she knows her biggest challenge. However, if we add up the problems that affect the biggest numbers of women, then issues having to do with physical safety and reproduction are still the biggest. Female bodies are still the battleground, whether that means restricting freedom, birth control and safe abortion in order to turn them into factories, or abandoning female infants because females are less valuable for everything other than reproduction.” IfsKnowsMeanStillsProblemBodyOrderTurnsIndividualChallengesNumbersIssuesBirthSafeFemaleSafetyAddValuableAbortionFactoriesInfantReproductionBirth ControlFemale BodyBattleground Author:Gloria Steinem
