"Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't."
"Jealousy is all the fun you THINK they had."
Erica Jong,
"Its not that such a woman has become denatured & gone off children. But if you take our mythical man with his eye on the topless blonde, I believe you would find that if his footsteps were dogged by two or three topless blondes who hung around his office all day, demanding constant attention, quarrelling,’ helping' with the bookkeeping, following him to the lavatory, butting in on conferences, criticising his methods, & every five minutes wanting help with their zippers & admiration of their knitting, if they never, ever went away - then after five or six months you would have a man less than rapturous about topless blondes. It wouldn't mean he had necessarily gone homosexual or frigid. (More likely he would have gone clean around the bend.)"
Elaine Morgan
"Women Constitute half the world's population
perform nearly two thirds of the world's work
receive one tenth of the world's income
own less than one hundredth of the world's wealth."
Sally Cline & Dale Spender, Reflecting men at twice their natural size.
"There is a saying 'Where power is, women are not.' Women must be willing to be powerful. Because we bear scars from the ways men have used their power over us, women often want no part of power."
Petra Kelly.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
