Feminism Lite uses the language of 'allowing'. Theresa May is the British prime minister and here is how a progressive British newspaper described her husband: 'Philip May is known in politics as a man who has taken a back seat and allowed his wife, Theresa, to shine.' Allowed.

only just emerged from a crush on Abe in her ethics class, Abe who was white, Abe who liked her well enough, who thought her smart and funny, even attractive, but who did not see her as female. She was curious about Abe, interested in Abe, but all the flirting she did was, to him, merely niceness: Abe would hook her up with his black friend, if he had a black friend. She was invisible to Abe.

La persona mas cualificada para ser lider ya no es la persona con mas fuerza fisica. Es la mas inteligente, la que tiene mas conocimientos, la mas creativa o la mas innovadora. Y para estos atributos no hay hormonas.

El mundo entero esta lleno de articulos de revistas y libros que les dicen a las mujeres que tienen que hacer, como tienen que ser y como no tienen que ser si quieren atraer o complacer a los hombres. Hay muchas menos guias para ensenar a los hombres a complacer a las mujeres.

Ensenamos a las chicas a tener verguenza. "Cierra las piernas." "Tapate." Les hacemos sentir que, por el hecho de nacer mujeres, ya son culpables de algo. Y lo que sucede es que las chicas se convierten en mujeres que no pueden decir que experimentan deseo."

Si hacemos algo una y otra vez, acaba siendo normal. Si vemos la misma cosa una y otra vez, acaba siendo normal. Si solo los chicos llegan a monitores de clase, al final llegara el momento en que pensemos, aunque sea de forma inconsciente, que el monitor de la clase tiene que ser un chico. Si solo vemos a hombres presidiendo empresas, empezara a parecernos <> que solo haya hombres presidentes de empresas.

And speaking of women lamenting about men who "promise" marriage and then disappear--isn't it odd that in most societies in the world today, women generally cannot propose marriage? Marriage is such a major step in your life, and yet you cannot take charge of it; it depends on a man asking you. So many women are in long-term relationships and want to get married but have to wait for the man to propose--and often this waiting becomes a perfo..

Nigerian women came to America and became wild, Igbo Massachusetts Accountant wrote in one post; it was an unpleasant truth but one that had to be said. What else accounted for the high divorce rates among Nigerians in America and the low rates among Nigerians in Nigeria? Delta Mermaid replied that women simply had laws protecting them in America and the divorce rates would be just as high if those laws were in Nigeria.

Cada manana despertaba aletargada, lastrada por la tristeza, asustada por el interminable dia que se extendia ante ella. Todo se habia espesado. Estaba sumergida, perdida, en una bruma viscosa, envuelta en una sopa de nada. Entre ella y lo que deberia sentir habia un abismo. No le interesaba nada. Deseaba interesarse, pero ya no sabia como hacerlo; habia escapado de su memoria, la capacidad de interesarse. A veces despertaba temblorosa y de..

Feminismo y feminidad no se excluyen mutuamente. Es misogino sugerir lo contrario. Por desgracia, las mujeres han aprendido a avergonzarse y disculparse de los intereses que tradicionalmente se consideran femeninos, tales como la moda y el maquillaje. Pero nuestra sociedad no espera que los hombres se averguencen de los intereses que tradicionalmente se consideran masculinos: los coches deportivos, ciertos deportes profesionales. De igual m..
