Teach her to question language. Language is the repository of our prejudices, our beliefs, our assumptions. .. Try not to use words like "misogyny" and "patriarchy" too often with Chizaleum. We can sometimes be too jargony, and jargon can feel too abstract."

Ensena a Chizalum a leer. Ensenale el amor por los libros. La mejor manera de hacerlo es mediante el ejemplo. Si te ve leyendo, comprendera que leer es valioso. Si no fuera a la escuela y solo leyera libros, posiblemente sabria mas que un nino educado de manera convencional. Los libros la ayudaran a entender el mundo y cuestionarselo, la ayudaran a expresarse y la ayudaran en aquello en lo que quiera convertirse: una chef, una cientifica, u..

En lugar de ensenarle a tu hija a agradar, ensenale a ser sincera. Y amable. Y valiente. Animala a decir lo que piensa, a decir lo que opina en realidad, a decir la verdad. [...] Dile que, si algo la incomoda, se queje, grite.>>

Today, we live in a vastly different world. The person more qualified to lead is not the physically stronger person. It is the more intelligent, the more knowledgeable, the more creative, more innovative. And there are no hormones for those attributes. A man is as likely as a woman to be intelligent, innovative, creative. We have evolved. But our ideas of gender have not evolved very much. Not

Si le gusta el maquillaje, deja que se maquille. Si le gusta la moda, deja que se arregle. Pero si no le gusta ni una cosa ni la otra, dejala tranquila. No creas que criar a una feminista consiste en obligarla a rechazar la feminidad. Feminismo y feminidad no se excluyen mutuamente.

But here is a sad truth: Our world is full of men and women who do not like powerful women. We have been so conditioned to think of power as male that a powerful woman is an aberration. And so she is policed. We ask of powerful women: Is she humble? Does she smile? Is she grateful enough? Does she have a domestic side? Questions we do not ask of powerful men, which shows that our discomfort is not with power itself, but with women. We judge..

Ensenale a que nunca, jamas, diga tonterias del calibre <>. Es mezquino. Y peligroso: semejante actitud significa que potencialmente tendras que aceptar otras ideas igual de daninas. Ensenale que un hombre NO tiene la obligacion de proveer. En una relacion sana, dicha responsabilidad recae en quien pueda satisfacerla.

Ojiugo often asked, 'But are they treating you well? Are they treating you well?' as though the treatment was what mattered, rather than the blighted reality of it all, that he was in a holding center, about to be deported. Nobody behaved normally. They were all under the spell of his misfortune.

In America, racism exists but racists are all gone. Racists belong to the past. Racists are the thin-lipped mean white people in the movies about the civil rights era. Here's the thing: the manifestation of racism has changed but the language has not. So if you haven't lynched somebody then you can't be called a racist. Somebody has to be able to say that racists are not monsters. They are people with loving families, regular folk who pay t..

Yes, but I'm worried I will leave grad school and no longer be able to speak English. I know this woman in grad school, a friend of a friend, and just listening to her talk is scary. The semiotic dialectics of intertextual modernity. Which makes no sense at all. Sometimes I feel that they live in a parallel universe of academia speaking academese instead of English and they don't really know what's happening in the real world.

La primera vez que imparti una clase de posgrado de escritura estaba preocupada. No por el temario, porque lo tenia bien preparado y estaba ensenando lo que me gustaba. Lo que me preocupaba era que ropa ponerme. Queria que me tomaran en serio. Yo era consciente de que, por el hecho de ser mujer, automaticamente tendria que demostrar mi valia. Y me preocupaba el hecho de resultar demasiado femenina. Tenia muchas ganas de ponerme brillo de la..

Algumas pessoas me perguntam: "Por que usar a palavra 'feminista'? Por que nao dizer que voce acredita nos direitos humanos, ou algo parecido?" Porque seria desonesto. O feminismo faz, obviamente, parte dos direitos humanos de uma forma geral -- mas escolher uma expressao vaga como "direitos humanos" e negar a especificidade e particularidade do problema de genero. Seria uma maneira de fingir que as mulheres nao foram excluidas ao longo dos..

They fascinated him, the unsubtle cowering of the almost rich in the presence of the rich, and the rich in the presence of the very rich; to have money, it seemed, was to be consumed by money. Obinze felt repulsion and longing; he pitied them, but he also imagined being like them.

People often told him how humble he was, but they did not mean real humility, it was merely that he did not flaunt his membership in the wealthy club, did not exercise the rights it brought--to be rude, to be inconsiderate, to be greeted rather than to greet--and because so many others like him exercised those rights, his choices were interpreted as humility. He did not boast, either, or speak about the things he owned, which made people as..

It puzzled him that she did not mourn all the things she could have been. Was it a quality inherent in women, or did they just learn to shield their personal regrets, to suspend their lives, subsume themselves in child care?
