“The insistence that there is a naturally biologically based world of sex differences is at the heart of patriarchal thinking.”

I don’t think I’ve read Bell Hooks before and she’s way more radical than I thought. So refreshing! I love it!

“When being lost was too great a burden for my spirit, I searched for love - for a partner who would help me in the quest to sustain myself and give me the necessary courage to go on. This struggle to find support for being a rebellious female who resists sexiest norms is still faced by young women today.”

“Antipatriarchal thinking acknowledges the reality of biological differences between genders but recognizes that cultural conditioning has shown itself to be stronger than anatomy - and that anatomy is not destiny”

“Until our culture can break through the myth and accept that women are not innately capable of nurturing others, the assumption that women are better able to love than men will prevail. Sexiest women are as likely as their male counterparts, if not more so, to insist that women are naturally better caregivers. In actuality, nurturance - the ability to care for another in a manner that enhances well being - is a learned behavior. Men learn it as well as women. Patriarchal culture is reinforced when males are not taught ways to nurture and care for others.” Jeez preach holy cow
