At least a third of a woman's life is marked with aging about a third of her body is made of fat. Both symbols are being transformed into operable condition

With the Internet there is even more fractioning since we are in echo chambers. With so much propaganda it is hard to calm down enough to listen.

Sexiness is no longer defined just as whether we are desirable, but also what we desire. The more liberated women become - economically, politically, and personally - the more erotic we are. Freedom is a lot sexier than dependency.

To me, my version of feminism, it's co-extensive with human rights and democracy. It's just part of the same fight for everyone being free, and having autonomy and dignity. It's not pitting one gender against another, it's not saying anything is better, it's just clearing away injustice.

It is foolish for people to think they can align themselves and be safe in a police state.
Naomi Wolf
Image
When a leader has deployed a private army, that is one definition of a police state. Another is when the president, or a leader, has his own treasury.

Become goddesses of disobedience.
Naomi Wolf

To find freedom and happiness in each others' arms, or you know, inside their own bodies and minds. That is a very empowering thing in a society that's trying to control us all the time.
Naomi Wolf
Image
The Tea Party is not monolithic. There is a battle between people who care about liberty and the Constitution and the Republican Establishment who is trying to take ownership of it and redirect it for its own purposes.
Naomi Wolf
Image
When women are pessimistic about their political strength and feel hopeless about changing the conditions of their lives, it is almost as if they do not believe that democracy means the country belongs to them. But it's true.
Naomi Wolf
Image
It is important to distinguish between the power of the internet to make the great change it can, and the limits and vulnerabilities of that change without real-time political mobilization deployed globally to protect those who venture out, especially in closed societies, into the heady new vistas it offers.

From a constitutional point of view George W. Bush passing through the Patriot Act is no worse than Obama renewing it.
Naomi Wolf
Image
We need to get back into grappling with people we disagree with if we want to restore the Republic.

I don't think we've got the concept in the West that male desire degrades men. Or that if men become sexually active, they become debased in some way, or slutty. Or lose status.
