Quotes About Equality
And do you do the same now, with other children? With the children in your care?" But Mrs. Montgomery-Taylor, now Mrs. Williams, has always been shrewd, even in her madness. "All children need different kinds of love," she says. "We do what's needed to care for them." Children are born so small. It does not matter if they are boys or girls. They are all born so weak and so powerless.

Behind his back, he knows the women in the factory are observing the encounter with cold, dark eyes. There'll be no doubting him after this, there'll be no asking what he is; they'll know what he is when they see what he can do. He's not a man in women's clothing. He's one of them, as strong as them, as capable.

Gender is a shell game. What is a man? Whatever a woman isn't. What is a woman? Whatever a man is not. Tap on it and it's hollow. Look under the shells: it's not there. Senkit nem lehet berakni egy dobozba. Ide hallgass, még egy k? sem ugyanaz, mint bármely másik k?, egyszóval nem is értem, milyen alapon címkéztek fel emberi lényeket üres szavakkal, és hiszitek azt, hogy mindent tudtok.

I've been thinking about two states of being—being gay, being Jewish. They have a lot in common. You don't choose it, that's the first thing. If you are, you are. There's nothing you can do to change it. Some people might deny this, but even if you're only "a little bit gay" or "a little bit Jewish," that's enough for you to identify yourself if you want.

Looking forward to this! I think I'd rather enjoy this "world run by men" you've been talking about. Surely a kinder, more caring and—dare I say it?—more sexy world than the one we live in.

God loves all of us," she says, "and She wants us to know that She has changed Her garment merely. She is beyond female and male, She is beyond human understanding. But She calls your attention to that which you have forgotten. Jews: look to Miriam, not Moses, for what you can learn from her. Muslims: look to Fatima, not Muhammad. Buddhists: remember Tara, the mother of liberation. Christians: pray to Mary for your salvation.

Os han enseñado que sois impuras, que no sois sagradas, que vuestro cuerpo es impuro y jamás podréis albergar lo divino. Os han enseñado a despreciar todo lo que sois y a desear ser un hombre. Pero son mentiras. La Diosa está en vuestro interior, ha regresado a la Tierra para enseñaros, con la forma de este nuevo poder. No acudáis a mí en busca de respuestas, pues debéis encontrar las respuestas en vuestro interior.»

Vi è stato insegnato che siete immonde, che non siete sante, che il vostro corpo è impuro e non potrebbe mai essere la sede del divino. Vi hanno insegnato a disprezzare tutto ciò che siete e ad aspirare solo a essere un uomo. Ma vi hanno insegnato menzogne. Dio

All girls born from now on will have the power—all of them. And they'll keep it throughout life, just like the older women do if it's woken up in them. It's too late now to try to cure it; we need new ideas.

We are modern. We live modern lives. All we demand is that women keep to their allotted areas; a woman is private, while a man is public. The correct mode for a man is speech, while the correct mode for a woman is silence. I've spent a long time proving that this isn't so. I've spent a long time insisting that no one else can tell me when to speak and when to remain silent. So much so that it's hard for me to tell when I want to be quiet.

On some of those websire for deviants and abnormals, people are wondering what would happen if you got the women to try to wake the power up in men, if you taught them the techniques that are already being used on the training camps to strengthen the power in weaker women. Some of them are saying, Maybe more of us would have it if they tried . But most men aren't trying anymore, if they ever did. They don't want to be associated with this. With weirdness .

Marriage is only permitted between those who have little in common. One may not marry a close relative. One may not marry a person of the same sex. God, Who created the heavens and the earth, might easily have ordained that a brother and sister could marry, that two women together could produce offspring. He could have so ordered the world that those who were the closest were able to mate. And thus He might have given His creations more comfort. Why, therefore, did He not do so?

Images of God dictate who will feel worthy in society and who will feel inferior, who will be respected and who will be despised, who will get easy access to the literal, material goods of the culture and who will have to fight for those goods.
