GLORIOUS GLORIA SPEAKS:

"• I have met brave women who are exploring the outer edge of human possibility, with no history to guide them, and with a courage to make themselves vulnerable that I find moving beyond words."

this blog is a small attempt in this regard.

"• The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn."

unlearn the fact that we are male or female and learn first that we are humans. because as long as u consider urself as male or female u forget u are a human.

"• If women are supposed to be less rational and more emotional at the beginning of our menstrual cycle when the female hormone is at its lowest level, then why isn't it logical to say that, in those few days, women behave the most like the way men behave all month long?"


exactly! have u ever thought so???

"• This is no simple reform. It really is a revolution. Sex and race because they are easy and visible differences have been the primary ways of organizing human beings into superior and inferior groups and into the cheap labour in which this system still depends. We are talking about a society in which there will be no roles other than those chosen or those earned. We are really talking about humanism."


quality/talents should be the sole criteria. like taste of food not the name of dish or where it is bought from(mainland china or home made).

to quote Tagore, "we cannot follow a rule just because it is a rule."

and to quote Gloria,"• Law and justice are not always the same. When they aren't, destroying the law may be the first step toward changing it."

• Most women's magazines simply try to mold women into bigger and better consumers.

most women magazines actually show that women have the only quality and that is what men called beauty.

• For women... bras, panties, bathing suits, and other stereotypical gear are visual reminders of a commercial, idealized feminine image that our real and diverse female bodies can't possibly fit. Without these visual references, each individual woman's body demands to be accepted on its own terms. We stop being comparatives. We begin to be unique.


WELL VERY FEW WOMEN WOULD AGREE TO THIS AND SO IT'S NOT A THREAT TO COMMERCIALS.

• We've begun to raise daughters more like sons... but few have the courage to raise our sons more like our daughters.

• We know that we can do what men can do, but we still don't know that men can do what women can do. That's absolutely crucial. We can't go on doing two jobs.

the 1st one is the cause of the 2nd. wrong parentage.

• Childbirth is more admirable than conquest, more amazing than self-defense, and as courageous as either one.

during childbirth a mother may go through the pain equal to that of breaking 20bones simultaneously. can a single man survive it???

• But the problem is that when I go around and speak on campuses, I still don't get young men standing up and saying, 'How can I combine career and family?'

i too never heard one. it is still supposed that only a woman has to compromise not the man. i dont know what she would say seeing the joint family systems of India where the woman has to even look after the inlaws???

what an aweful truth!
'• Someone asked me why women don't gamble as much as men do, and I gave the commonsensical reply that we don't have as much money. That was a true and incomplete answer. In fact, women's total instinct for gambling is satisfied by marriage. '

actually ther is hardly any marriage where women actually wins, most of the time she thinks that she won but her thoughts are actually shaped like that from childhood.
