“Equality is not a concept. It's not something we should be striving for. It's a necessity. Equality is like gravity, we need it to stand on this earth as men and women, and the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who's confronted with it. We need Equality, and we kind of need it now. 'So why do you write these strong female characters?'

“But truly, women are amazing. Think about it this way: a woman can grow a baby inside her body. Then a woman can deliver the baby through her body. Then, by some miracle, a woman can feed a baby with her body.

“I think the part of media that romanticizes criminal behavior, things that a person will say against women, profanity, being gangster, having multiple children with multiple men and women and not wanting to is prevalent.

“It is understandable how some people could give way to this kind of pervasive pessimism, but we speak of a gospel which brings good tidings of great joy and this must be reflected in our lives, if we are to be believable especially as we suggest to others that there is, in fact, not only a better way, but also the way. Scriptures that speak of man as a being who "might have joy" have more impact when falling from the lips or pens of men and women whose lives give fresh evidence of the validity of that scripture.” PeopleIfsMenWayGivingKindFactsMightJoyFallSpeakOur LivesEvidenceMen And WomenImpactLipsScripturePensPessimismBetter WaysValidityBelievableGreat JoyTidings Author:Neal A.

“The system of patriarchy is a historic construct; it has a beginning; it will have an end. Its time seems to have nearly run its course—it no longer serves the needs of men or women and in its inextricable linkage to militarism, hierarchy, and racism it threatens the very existence of life on earth. What will come after, what kind of structure will be the foundation for alternate forms of social organization we cannot yet know. We are living in an age of unprecedented transformation. We are in the process of becoming.” KnowsMenLifeNeedsKindEndsSeemsRunningAgeEarthFormCoursesSocialProcessExistenceSocietyBecomingRacismMen And WomenOrganizationTransformationFoundationStructurePatriarchyThreateningConstructsHistoricHierarchyUnprecedentedMilitarismPatriarchal SocietyAnti RacistSocial OrganizationSystemic ChangeLinkagesExistence Of Life Author:Gerda Lerner
