Let this dismissal of a woman's experience move you to anger. Turn that outrage into political power. Do not vote for them unless they work for us. Do not have sex with them, do not break bread with them, do not nurture them if they don't prioritize our freedom to control our bodies and our lives. I am not a post-feminism feminist. I am the Third Wave.

The main problem was with the men. There was nothing for them anymore . . . I’m not talking about sex, he says. That was part of it, the sex was too easy . . . You know what they were complaining about the most? Inability to feel. Men were turning off on sex, even. They were turning off on marriage. Do they feel now? I say. Yes, he says, looking at me. They do.

"[F]or anyone born after the early 1960's, the presence of feminism in our lives is taken for granted. For our generation, feminism is like fluoride. We scarcely notice that we have it—it's simply in the water."  (Baumgardner and Richards)]]> 2018-06-11 12:49:12 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/bccjm6utktiz/wish/266602505 chrisy_dennis https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/bccjm6utktiz/wish/266602506 Ordinary, said Aunt Lydia, is what you are used to.

It will become ordinary.]]> 2018-06-11 12:49:12 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/bccjm6utktiz/wish/266602506 chrisy_dennis https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/bccjm6utktiz/wish/266602507 A woman has to change her nature if she is to be a wife. She has to learn to curb her tongue, to suppress her desires, to moderate her thoughts and to spend her days putting another first. She has to put him first even when she longs to serve herself or her children. She has to put him first even if she longs to judge for herself. She has to put him first even when she knows best. To be a good wife is to be a woman with a will of iron that you yourself have forged into a bridle to curb your own abilities. To be a good wife is to enslave yourself to a lesser person. To be a good wife is to amputate your own power as surely as the parents of beggars hack off their children's feet for the greater benefit of the family.”
