"There is no love without justice. Men and women who cannot be just deny themselves and everyone they choose to be intimate with the freedom to know mutual love."

"Ongoing male violence against females daily stands as public testimony to the failure of feminist movement to convert and change the hearts of men...Feminist silence about love reflects a collective sorrow about our powerlessness to free all men from the hold patriarchy has on their minds and hearts. It reflects our shock at male betrayal."

"If feminists had continued to talk about love, then we would have needed to speak about the extreme lovelessness that is at the heart of domination....Men do not wound women only when they act violently and abusively. They wound us when they fail to protect our freedom in every aspect of our daily lives."

When this was first published, I was too young, but it hits perfectly right now. Thank you Vice President for trying once again to appropriate someone else's work, thus spurring a massive movement of awareness for the real artist, bell hooks. That bearded idiot aside, this is amazing so far and I'm thankful for it.

Will this book never end??? This is NOT sci-fi any more than Rambo in Space is.

Hoping this world gets better. It's not you, Dan Simmons, it's me.

Heavy reading for a short story. Small bites at a time (pun not intended at first, then yes, intended).

Just read 20 pages of appendices and I have finally learned the true meaning of the word "derp:"
"DERPs: dehydrated excratory recycling pellets. Sterile, polymer coated feces as processed by appropriately equipped skinsuits." We cannot let this knowledge go to waste.

YEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!

The edition I'm reading has 307 pages and I'm on 270... so close but I'm so tired!

I'm having fun with this one. Ty to my thoughtful offspring who offers tributes of books and plants.

Omigosh this book is good. ♡_♡
