The origin of the problem is crystal clear: societies around the world have consistently and egregiously devalued qualities and perspectives traditionally deemed feminine.

“Best advice I ever got was an old friend of mine, a black friend, who said you have to go the way your blood beats. If you don’t live the only life you have, you won’t live some other life, you won’t live any life at all. That’s the only advice you can give anybody. And it’s not advice, it’s an observation.”

“—Aquest és el meu compromís: jo, Astruc, fill d'en Bonjuhà i de la Sara, metge i cirurgià, amb deu unces de mal geni, però moltes més de paciència, totalment enamorat de la dona més llesta, valenta i tossuda de Barcelona, t'ofereixo tot el que tinc, que no és gaire.

—Jo mateix, quatre consells que sé que no seguiràs i la certesa que mai no em mouré del teu costat, si m'hi vols.”

“People often call me an optimist, because I show them the enormous progress they didn't know about. That makes me angry. I'm not an optimist. That makes me sound naive. I'm a very serious “possibilist”. That’s something I made up. It means someone who neither hopes without reason, nor fears without reason, someone who constantly resists the overdramatic worldview. As a possibilist, I see all this progress, and it fills me with conviction and hope that further progress is possible. This is not optimistic. It is having a clear and reasonable idea about how things are. It is having a worldview that is constructive and useful.”
