Of all the evils for which man has made himself responsible, none is so degrading, so shocking, or so brutal as his abuse of the better half of humanity to me, the female sex is not the weaker sex.

Fundamentally, if the league is going to have a no-tolerance policy for domestic abuse, if we're going to be a global organization that's going to have this as a perspective, we've got to back it up.

Equality is deemed by many a mere speculative chimera, which can never be reduced to practice. But if the abuse is inevitable, does it follow that we ought not to try at least to mitigate it? It is precisely because the force of things tends always to destroy equality that the force of the legislature must always tend to maintain it.

I am absolutely convinced that no wealth in the world can help humanity forward, even in the hands of the most devoted worker in this cause.

Gloria Steinem

Our Constitution, which was intended to limit government power and abuse, has failed.

Money values do not simply mirror the state of affairs in the real world valuation is a positive act that makes an impact on the course of events. Monetary and real phenomena are connected in a reflexive fashion that is, they influence each other mutually. The reflexive relationship manifests itself most clearly in the use and abuse of credit.
