I don't want to overstate tantra because I'm sure there are scumbags everywhere, but it seems like it's an ideology that actually respects female desire.

It's human nature to abuse power, no matter who you are.

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.

If people are taking my book seriously and organizing, getting into office, caring about the constitution, and not waiting for someone else to lead them, I think, God bless them. All of us should be doing that. The left should be doing that.

We need to get back into grappling with people we disagree with if we want to restore the Republic.

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

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.

If people wake up, think critically, and get angry, we get connected to that courage that the founding generation meant us to have. History shows when millions just don't go along, resist at any level - and I'm talking about all the way up to bipartisan impeachment and arrest of the leaders of the coup - then it can't happen.

Protesters should make their own media and not rely on mainstream media to cover them.

To live in a culture in which women are routinely naked where men aren't is to learn inequality in little ways all day long. So even if we agree that sexual imagery is in fact a language, it is clearly one that is already heavily edited to protect men's sexual - and hence social - confidence while undermining that of women.

I'll go anywhere to talk about the Constitution. I believe in trans-partisan organizing around these issues.

It is foolish for people to think they can align themselves and be safe in a police state.

What becomes of a man who acquires a beautiful woman, with her 'beauty' his sole target? He sabotages himself. He has gained no friend, no ally, no mutual trust: She knows quite well why she has been chosen. He has succeeded in buying something: the esteem of other men who find such an acquisition impressive.

The beauty myth moves for men as a mirage its power lies in its ever-receding nature. When the gap is closed, the lover embraces only his own disillusion.

I am worried that Americans I have met on my journey across the country, seem very hopeless and are feeling powerless to make change and are feeling passive. I'm not blaming them. But one thing we need at a time like this is for people to feel empowered and angry.

A Mother who radiates self-love and self-acceptance actually VACCINATES her daughter against low self-esteem.

Historically, when a leader has deployed his own military against civilians, it's never been good. There's never been a time where it's ended well.

I've never understood this puritanical idea that feminism has to be a cult. You know, we all have to think alike or dress alike or have a similar ideology.

As women demanded access to power, the power structure used the beauty myth materially to undermine women's advancement.
