If you consider that the gender roles are just political, then what you come to see is that the full circle of human qualities is divided up so that two-thirds are masculine and one-third is feminine. Women are missing more of their human qualities, so you'll find us on the fore-front of trying to change this.

In every century, there are a handful of writers who help the human race to evolve. Andrea is one of them.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Far too many people are looking for the right person, instead of trying to be the right person.
Gloria Steinem
Image
More women are becoming the men they wanted to marry, but too few men are becoming the women they wanted to marry. That leaves most women with two jobs, one outside the home and one in it.

There's no greater gift than thinking that you had some impact on the world, for the better.
Gloria Steinem

A person who has experienced something is almost always far more expert on it than are the experts.
Gloria Steinem
