“A standing tree offers shade and coolness, prevents erosion, and returns oxygen to the atmosphere. But it has no value to the GDP until it is cut down.”

“The current state of the world arises from a system that puts little or no value on peace, preserving natural resources, women’s labor, or the unpaid job of reproducing and maintaining human life.”

“The operative word when people disparage women is ‘too.’ Women’s voices are too loud or too soft, they are too aggressive or too passive, dressed too dowdily or too gaudily, are too old or too young. Every human trait annoys someone. In women-hating societies, *everyone* finds women more annoying than men.”
