Women are never again going to be mindless coffee-makers or mindless policy-makers in politics.

What we experience in our childhoods that comes to seem normal, or even inevitable, is that if you are placed in a hierarchy, you probably are immediately anxious about going further down and you're striving to go further up, so your energies get placed into becoming more than, or at least not becoming less than, instead of becoming part

We are literally linked in a circle, including with nature, as well as with other human beings. Old societies didn't have and still don't have he and she. They don't have gendered pronouns. They don't have a word for nature, because we're not separate from nature.

The old languages - at least the ones I know - don't have gender. They don't have gendered pronouns. There's no he and she. A human being is a human being.

Economics anxiety may be even more common than the often identified 'math anxiety,' for unlike math, which has its personal uses, economics is seen as a mysterious set of forces manipulated from above.

Whoever has power takes over the noun - and the norm - while the less powerful get an adjective.

Nothing will happen automatically. Change depends on what you and I do every day.

To punish the individual for the sins of the system makes no sense. We're responsible for changing it, yes. But we can't actually invent another universe, so we have to start where we are.

I feel that the people I see in the media are sometimes more real than I am, which is utter bullshit.
