“As I looked more carefully at the listening matrix I saw that during the past twenty years we had taken a magnifying glass to the first of these four quadrants, the female experience of powerlessness. I saw I was subconsciously making a false assumption: The more deeply I understood women's experience of powerlessness, the more I assumed men had the power women did not have. In fact, what I was understanding was the female experience of male power.” MenYearsFirstsFactsPastUnderstandingTakenSawsFourListeningUnderstoodFemaleTwentiesMalesGlassesAssumptionPowerlessnessMagnifyingMagnifying GlassFalse Assumptions Author:Warren Farrell
“The 'enduring theme' [in fiction] of male competition and female competition for the hero/survivor has taken us from the fittest surviving to the brink of no one surviving. Sex roles have gone from functional to dysfunctional almost overnight. This is why the enduring theme must be questioned now.” SexFictionRolesGoneTakenHeroFemaleCompetitionEndureMalesThemeSurvivorSurviving Author:Warren Farrell
“To me, the Craft is what Christianity was 2,000 years ago. It was a religion that was not corrupted. I personally think Jesus was a Crafter. We believe in all the things that he spoke of. The early Christians believed in reincarnation, and that was later removed from the belief system. Early Christians had a female Divinity, and that was taken out of their belief system, or as with Catholicism, replaced with Mary. Look at how incredible the growth in devotion of Mary is. It's amazing. The desire for a female Divinity is not just Wiccan. It speaks of a global need.” ThinkingNeedsYearsBelieveLooksChristianDesireJesusBeliefSpeakGrowthChristianityTakenFemaleYears AgoIncrediblesDevotionCraftsDivinitySpokesCatholicismMaryReincarnationReplacedBelief SystemsWiccanCrafters Author:Silver RavenWolf
“Women are penalized both for deviating from the masculine norm and for appearing to be masculine. When women try to establish their competence, they are scrutinized for evidence that they lack masculine (instrumental) characteristics as well as for signs that they no longer possess female (expressive) ones. They are taken to fail, in other words, both as a male and as a female.” TryingWellsTakenFailingEvidenceFemaleMalesCharacteristicsSexismNormMasculineCompetenceAppearingExpressive Book:Beyond the Double Bind: Women and Leadership Source: Beyond the Double Bind: Women and Leadership

“Jail sentences have many functions, but one is surely to send a message about what our society abhors and what it values. This week, the equation was twofold: female infidelity twice as bad as male abuse, the life of a woman half as valuable as that of a man.
