“The terms 'male' and 'female' must be understood as representing no mere primitive opposition of sex to sex; but as defining two worlds of differing quality, in either of which men and women may jointly move and live.” MenWorldMayTwoMovingSexTermQualityUnderstoodMen And WomenFemaleMalesOppositionPrimitiveDefiningRepresentingTwo Worlds Author:Laura Riding
“Our "society" is not a community, but merely a collection of isolated family units. Desperately insecure, fearing his woman will leave him if she's exposed to other men or to anything remotely resembling life, the male seeks to isolate her from other men and from what little civilization there is, so he moves her out to the suburbs, a collection of self-absorbed couples and their kids. Isolation, further, enables him to try to maintain his pretense of being an individual by being a "rugged individualist", a loner, equating non-co-operation and solitariness with individuality.” IfsMenTryingLittlesSelfKidsMovingIndividualCommunityCoupleCivilizationMalesIndividualityOperationsIsolationCollectionsOur SocietyExposedIsolatedUnitsInsecurePretenseSuburbsLonerSelf AbsorbedRuggedFamily Unit Author:Valerie Solanas

“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
“Since violence is largely a male pastime, cultures that empower women tend to move away from the glorification of violence and are less likely to breed dangerous subcultures of rootless young men.” MenMovingYoungCultureViolenceDangerousMalesYoung ManEmpoweringEmpowering WomenPastimeSubcultureGlorification Book:The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined Source: The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined
