I think all my work's been about how do women get back into our bodies; how do men get back. We're all disassociated.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
By accepting what the external structures have told us we need to do, we have given the power of our realities and ourselves to others. It is time to tell a new story for women, and that can only start with women.
Society has not been set up in a way that allows women to go back to work after taking time off. Many women now have to work as well as do everything at home and no one can do everything. Society needs to find a way of relieving women.
Emotionally men and women are different, but only as a result of the physical differences. It all comes back to our bodies.
In a way, we women take on more than we need to sometimes.
So we've moved from an era when women's biology was women's destiny to today, which is an era in which men's biology is men's destiny.
I think we're socialized out of being women, and then we have to find our way back to it. That's hard to do.
The women's movement was always going to work in two parts. With one part, we'd break open the doors that were closed to women, and with the other part, we'd walk through, transforming society for men and women. Turns out it was a lot easier to open the doors.
As women in general, I don't think we take the time to find ways to take care of ourselves.
Liberate the minds of men and ultimately you will liberate the bodies of men.
The repossession by women of our bodies will bring far more essential change to human society than the seizing of the means of production by workers.
