KARAGANDA. KAZINFORM Karaganda region has started its large-scale transition to green technologies. The 100 MW solar power station, recognized as the largest one in Central Asia, was put into operation in Saran, Kazinform reports.
307,000 voltaic panels are stretching over 164 ha to convert solar power to electrical energy. The solar panels can produce about 10-15 MW even on the cloudiest day. The operating life of the panels is 40 years.
The solar plant is the private project. A group of the European companies has invested USD 137 mln into the project.
According to Governor of the region Yerlan Koshanov, 33 large investment projects worth KZT 1 trln are being implemented in the region so far. 17 projects are being realized with participation of foreign presence.
The same day the investors from the EU and the Karaganda region's administration signed a memorandum. The businessmen expressed their readiness to invest USD 500 mln into the development of alternative energy sources in years to come. It is planned to build three or four more green energy facilities there.

Twenty One Pilots Talk Performing, Fans, and The Hunger Games Soundtrack
By Jamie Taylor
I was lucky enough to get a few minutes with Tyler Joseph and Joshua Dun of Twenty One Pilots during their time in Vancouver.
We had a nice little chat.

Concert Addicts – So your stage show is super intense, and super dramatic. Was that a slow, organic process where you got to that point? The jumping off things, the interacting with the crowd, was that something that just happened organically or do you guys plan that out, at least somewhere, ahead of time?
Tyler Joseph – I think it did start off organically. I knew that—Josh and I when we were playing in front of very, very small crowds, we knew as a local band you realize that shows are very important. And when were working a local job, with weekends off, you know we maybe have a show or two a month, and so you work on that show. What is it gonna look like? What is it gonna feel like? And, you almost have to sing for your supper, type of feel. So when thats on the line, you just start developing this sort of chemistry, and kind of like an agreement that we're gonna lay out everything we have because we don't know when our next shows gonna be. Now we're starting to play more shows. It's starting to become something we do as our job, we got to quit our old jobs to do this for full time. But then that just kinda carried over.
Concert Addicts – That's pretty cool. You guys, last night, were all over the place [at Deck the Hall Ball in Seattle]. At one point you guys were in the crowd. Have you guys ever sustained any injuries from all that high-flying antics? You're jumping off pianos, you're jumping off stage risers. I mean anything more serious than bumps and scrapes I guess?
Tyler Joseph – I will say, I get hurt almost every night but I don't know that I'm hurt while I'm playing. It's afterwards that I'll find a bruise or a cut or something, but nothing too bad, like that we had to cancel a show or whatever.
Concert Addicts – [Joshua] you've ever had the same thing?
Josh Dun – Na, I'll like find blood on my snare drum every once in a while, but that's like kinda normal.
Concert Addicts – For drummers?
Josh Dun – Yeah.
Tyler Joseph – And awesome!
Josh Dun – Yeah!
Concert Addicts – So the adrenaline's running, and whatever happens, happens. I mean you guys have such a— I mean it's a rambunctious performance style, but it's pretty unique. Is there anybody that you look up to, like before you started getting into it or even now, that you looked up to performance wise? Like, "I wanna kind of do that, or aspire to that".
Tyler Joseph – I think— there's a band called Mutemath that we both look up to. As we were coming up with what this thing should be, we would reference them, because their live show and just the way that they manifest their songs for you on stage is just a really cool, convicted, passionate way of doing it. We love that. So that's a band that comes up.
Concert Addicts – I've seen them once, and it was the first time I saw somebody do a handstand on a keyboard was when I saw them live. It was pretty awesome. I can definitely see that connection there. Mentioning before the drama in your guys' sets. You start off, and there's always this darkness and this build up through the whole set. It feels like there is maybe a little bit of film or theater, kind of love in there. Are either of you big movie buffs or theater buffs?
Tyler Joseph – We love movies. I get so excited about—we call it the ramp. Your set should ramp up, and then end and leave people dangling right up there, and it should resolve, and it should just be like— So in the beginning we need to, because there is only two of us we have to be very smart about how much room we take up, where we go, when— Really trying to dance with the crowd, trying to play off of them, them playing off of us. And so we've kinda come up with this style where we come out of the gate trying to be— to keep as many things to our chest as we can. Whether it's only back light, and you can't see what's going on, but then there's a moment where your front lit and it's like, "Hi, here we are", and then you take it to the next level and it becomes— things start getting stripped away, and then by the end you're just like sweaty, with a tank top on, going, "This is all we had, [we] left it all out there". Oh, I had pants on too, not just a tank top. But, you know, we kind of like to end a show with, "We've given it everything we have."
Josh Dun – I think one thing we have always agreed on is just having a show being a full sensory experience, and I think a lot of bands or artists will kind of like utilize, maybe, one or two senses, where its kinda just maybe audio and just playing the show is enough. But I think now in our culture its not enough. People want to see or experience more, and have it be more about, more than just about like these people standing on stage playing music. It's more about a dynamic experience. I get inspired by, about a year ago I saw my first Cirque Du Soleil performance, which was incredible, and there's so much going on. It was like more than just kind of like kinda one thing to stimulate you, one of your senses or whatever, and its just kinda like encapsulating everything. Very theatrical.
Concert Addicts – Very immersive, and a good emotion in just the visuals itself all separated from the music.
Josh Dun – Yeah, and I think to be able to kinda like capture some of those different senses within a show, or figure how to in some way, and make it dynamic, like he said, thats kinda the goal, and I think what people kinda want to experience.
Concert Addicts – I mean it communicates so well. It's so beautifully done. That drama, even from last night [at the Deck The Hall Ball in Seattle], I mean that's the second time I've seen you guys, but just that drama and buildup and then the lights come on, like you say, "Hey, here we are", and then everybody just loses their minds. It's a pretty intense feeling, I could just imagine on stage. That's just pretty cool. In mentioning films, I'm not sure if this is something you guys can talk about, but the Hunger Games movie— there is some mutterings that you guys have a song on the soundtrack to that.
Tyler Joseph – Yeah, that's not true.
Josh Dun – I don't know where that came from.
Tyler Joseph – We saw it on the internet too, and we're like, "Oh, apparently we wrote a song called… something".
Concert Addicts – It's called, apparently, "Brokenheart", and , apparently, it's with Halsey.
Tyler Joseph – Ya, Halsey. You [Joshua] talked to her a lot about it, she's like, "Apparently we wrote a song called Brokenheart", and we were like, "We will get on that right away".
Josh Dun – She was just as confused as us.
Concert Addicts – Ya, it seemed to be just like a Tumblr blog thing.
Tyler Joseph – It was perfectly planned. It was like this really sketch photo of some piece of paper with all these names and songs on it, and it seemed like, "Oh, this looks secretive", and it worked. Fooled me for a second.
Concert Addicts – It looked like an official document.
Josh Dun – I was like, "When can I hear this?"
Concert Addicts – Ya, when I mentioned to some people that I was going to talk to you, they were like, "Oh, you gotta ask them about this", and I had never heard about it. And then I looked it up, and it's just all over the, you know, like underground.
Tyler Joseph – Well to clear the air that doesn't exist.
Concert Addicts – Well that's perfect. It seems like you two have been relentlessly touring and putting out new music for like 6 years. Do you guys ever get like significant amount of time off, to just do your own thing and relax?
Tyler Joseph – We haven't really been off-off since we started doing this, and so, I know that in January we have a month. Which is like, yay.
Josh Dun – That's probably the most time since we kinda like started playing music together, that we'll like have off at one— I'm kinda like worried about, I don't know what I'm gonna do.
Tyler Joseph – That's true.
Concert Addicts – Think about music? [laughing]
Josh Dun – Ya, I was thinking about it. [laughing]
Tyler Joseph – But it's not even the end of a cycle, it's like the middle of our cycle. We still have a whole other year and a bit.
Concert Addicts – Because you guys are going back out. I mean you've already sold-out both of your [next] Vancouver dates here, that's only four months from now. And, did you guys sell-out Madison Square Garden?
Tyler Joseph – Yeah, pretty sure. Did we both? (3rd person in room, "Will be")
Concert Addicts – That's pretty crazy. So with that said, we already talked—know about you going back out in 2016. Is there any other plans, I mean you just released an album not too long ago, is there any other knew music under—being worked on?
Tyler Joseph – Yeah, I mean, we're about, what would you say about half way done with this cycle? It's probably the most intense cycle we've done yet. You know, we're more travel and moving around then ever before. It's tough to write on the road sometimes. But the last half of this cycle is when that focus will be more on what is the next thing look like, sound like. And, you know, we have the resources to kinda have a studio type of situation on a bus, or a portable thing we can bring to hotels, and it will start to form into an idea. Right now I don't like talking about it, because…
Concert Addicts – To separate, to keep it separate.
Tyler Joseph – Well, that, and I'm just like—you know that feeling, and not that I would ever think that writing songs is some task that I just have to do or whatever, but that feeling that you just have something hanging on you, like over your like, "I gotta get that done" or "I gotta do that" or "gotta tackle that"?
Concert Addicts – Oh ya.
Tyler Joseph – It's like I'm afraid to start it 'cause I hope it will be there. Especially anything creative, where, like, I hope that when I sit down to do this, that I still have what it takes. And there's a lot of, like, back and forth. Whether it's like self doubt or just a little bit of anxiety about that—you know, it's good to have that though. It kinda like keeps that, what you create, in check. So, I'm looking forward to it.
Concert Addicts – Anxiety and creativity kinda go hand in hand I think. If you don't doubt yourself, then you're not bettering yourself in a way.
Tyler Joseph – Right. Yes!
Concert Addicts – So I'm going to have two last questions. There's a crazy lineup outside [the Vogue Theare]. It goes around the block. People have been waiting here—I mean I walked by here probably around 11 o'clock this morning, and there's about twenty people camped out. Any single thing you wanted to say to the people that are waiting outside?
Josh Dun – Stay warm, and stay safe. I think I have once waited in line—I think I got there at like 4pm or something, day of the show, and now people will come up to us and just be like, "We've been here since 7pm last night" or "2 days ago", crazy. I couldn't imagine doing that, but at the same time whats cool is we've seen people just interacting in the line and becoming friends through that experience, but the same time it's just—I fear for their safety and there health as well.
Concert Addicts – Sitting in the rain.
Tyler Joseph – Yeah, that sucks. I wish I could just like get a huge umbrella and cover all of them.
Concert Addicts – They have their little nests out there. They definitely—there's a camaraderie out there, they join in little groups and stuff.
Tyler Joseph – Yeah, no, the line before the show's kinda turned into part of the experience.
Concert Addicts – A kinda pre-show party.
Josh Dun – Ya.
Tyler Joseph – Yeah, I think it's really cool, honestly. I wish we could go out and just hang out. Which we try to interact with them as much as we can. I guess any chance we get we want to tell our fans that we wish were able to interact with them all on a one-on-one basis. Like that's our—we love that, but nothing gets us more fired up then that. It's just really hard to try to make that happen sometimes. So, stay warm.
Concert Addicts – That's a perfect response. Last question, something I ask everybody, are there any bands or artists out there that are maybe lesser-known, that you think you'd like to sort of shine a spotlight on and say, "People should check this band out" or "This artist out?" Anybody that comes to mind?
Tyler Joseph – That's a great question.
Concert Addicts – Anybody you're listening to, maybe, that you think, "That's a good song".
Josh Dun – Umm.
Tyler Joseph – Uhh.
Concert Addicts – It's one of those questions that sort of puts people on the spot because they go, "What's in my playlist?"
Tyler Joseph – There's this band called Coldplay. [laughing]
Josh Dun – You should check 'em out. [laughing]
Tyler Joseph – There's this girl, Taylor Swift
Concert Addicts – Oh, ya, ya, I heard she's okay.
Josh Dun – She's real talented, and just kinda looking for a fan base.
Concert Addicts – She's looking for a venue where she can play the guitar at night.
Tyler Joseph – Yeah, she's waiting for her big break, you know. [laughing]
Tyler Joseph – I'm trying to think, there's gotta be— I'm really into the new Mutemath record. They don't need any spotlight or whatever.
Concert Addicts – I would still put them in that lesser known—I mean there not as main stream as they should be.
Josh Dun – I agree.
Concert Addicts – There's a bunch of bands like that, you know. They inspire so many artists but maybe the public themselves are like standoff-ish.
Tyler Joseph – Like a band's band. So they're a band's band but I think they could definitely show everyone a thing or two of what music should sound like.
Concert Addicts – I think that's a good response, I like them. That's good, I will share that with everybody. That's perfect, and I appreciate your time, and I will be back here tonight to photograph your guys' set.
Tyler Joseph – Awesome!
Josh Dun – Awesome! Thank you, man.

Glass ceiling feminism is grounded from the very outset in hierarchies. I mean, how else does that metaphor work? Those who are already high enough to reach the ceiling are probably white, and then if they're not white, they are already affluent. Because they're at the top. All they have to do is push through the ceiling. ~ Angela Davis
Feminism is a range of political movements, ideologies, and social movements that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve political, economic, personal, and social equality of sexes. Feminist movements have campaigned and continue to campaign for women's rights. This includes fighting gender stereotypes and seeking to establish educational and professional opportunities for women that are equal to those for men.

A[edit]
Women's movements have a special significance for the immediate future. These movements should be understood not as an assertion of supremacy, but as the establishment of justice. ~Agni Yoga
Does feminist mean large unpleasant person who'll shout at you or someone who believes women are human beings? To me it's the latter, so I sign up. ~Margaret Atwood
We ask justice, we ask equality, we ask that all civil and political rights that belong to the citizens of the United States be guaranteed to us and our daughters forever. ~Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Matilda Joslyn Gage, and Ida Husted Harper
Feminism is a rebellion against the ruthless tyranny of the male, an attempt to dethrone his autocratic rule and revert to a more natural sexual equality. ~ Blanche Shoemaker Wagstaff
Women who lust for wisdom become astonished/ astonishing, Wondering. As Muses of our own creation, Wonderlusters re-member our Original Powers. Unlike the frozen 'philosophy' that is packaged and stored within academic refrigerators, Wonderlust moves us always. Our vehicles are often Metaphors. Our destinations are Realms of Metabeing. ~Mary Daly
I am uncompromising in the matter of woman's rights. In my opinion she should labour under no legal disability not suffered by man, I should treat the daughters and sons on a footing of perfect equality. ~ Mohandas Gandhi
I always believed that the time inevitably must come when woman will be judged by the same moral standards applied to man. For it is not her specific feminine virtue that gives her a place of honor in human society, but the worth of the useful mission accomplished by her, the worth of her personality as human being, as citizen, as thinker, as fighter. ~ Alexandra Kollontai (1926)
I'm absolutely a feminist. The reason other feminists don't like me is that I criticize the movement, explaining that it needs a correction. Feminism has betrayed women, alienated men and women, replaced dialogue with political correctness. ~ Camille Paglia
Woman is a personification of nature, and it is nature that teaches man, not man nature. Therefore, may all women realize the grandeur of their origin, and may they strive for knowledge. Where there is knowledge, there is power. ~Helena Roerich
The most ancient Teachings always highly regarded the Feminine Principle, and even female divinities were considered by them to be the most sacred... Woman must accept the struggle against life's obstacles in order to temper her strength and manifest her true nature. ~Helena Roerich
Women's degradation is in man's idea of his sexual rights. Our religion, laws, customs, are all founded on the belief that woman was made for man. Come what will, my whole soul rejoices in the truth that I have uttered. ~Elizabeth Cady Stanton
The more I have spoken about feminism the more I have realized that fighting for women's rights has too often become synonymous with man-hating. If there is one thing I know for certain, it is that this has to stop... Feminism by definition is: "The belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. It is the theory of the political, economic and social equality of the sexes."
...No country in the world can yet say they have achieved gender equality. ~Emma Watson (2014)
I myself have never been able to find out what feminism is; I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat or a prostitute. ~ Rebecca West (1913)
Ancient legends actually attribute to woman the role of the guardian of sacred-knowledge... Let us develop primarily a sense of our own dignity and learn to lean courageously on our own strength and knowledge, in order to join in, as well as accept, responsibility for the great structure of General Good. ~Helena Roerich
Woman can ensure that new knowledge is properly applied. ~Agni Yoga
But then why in many ancient pre-Christian civilizations....were women respected and the feminine principle not feared but revered? What is it that suddenly made men feel threatened by the female? ~Eckhart Tolle
Nobody knows the exact figure because records were not kept... but between three and five million women were tortured and killed by the "Holy Inquisition,"... It was enough for a woman to show a love for animals, walk alone in the fields or woods, or gather medicinal plants to be branded a witch, then tortured and burned at the stake. The sacred feminine was declared demonic... Women's status was reduced to being child bearers and men's property... The rest is history or rather a case history of insanity. ~Eckhart Tolle
I've been described as a tough and noisy woman, a prize fighter, a man-hater, you name it. They call me Battling Bella, Mother Courage, and a Jewish mother with more complaints than Portnoy. There are those who say I'm impatient, impetuous, uppity, rude, profane, brash, and overbearing. Whether I'm any of those things, or all of them, you can decide for yourself. But whatever I am — and this ought to be made very clear — I am a very serious woman.
Bella Abzug, in Bella! : Ms. Abzug Goes to Washington (1972) edited by Edited by Mel Ziegler, Introduction
In the new Code of Laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make I desire you would Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favourable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the Husbands. Remember all Men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the Ladies we are determined to foment a Rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation.
Abigail Adams, in a letter to John Adams (31 March 1776), published in Familiar Letters of John Adams and his wife Abigail Adams (1875) edited by Charles Francis Adams, p. 147
Today is the beginning of the feminine awakening. A new wave has reached Earth today, and new hearths have become alight; for the substance of the rays penetrates deeply. It is joyous to feel the approach of the New Epoch. 138.
Agni Yoga, Leaves of Morya's Garden II (1925)
The Mother of the World appears as a symbol of the feminine Origin in the new epoch, and the masculine Origin voluntarily returns the treasure of the World to the feminine Origin. Amazons were the embodiment of the strength of the feminine Principle, and now it is necessary to show the aspect of spiritual perfection of woman... it is time to change conditions in the world. 150.
Women's movements have a special significance for the immediate future. These movements should be understood not as an assertion of supremacy, but as the establishment of justice. Much has been said about co-measurement and equilibrium; precisely for the realization of this principle must the full rights of women be strengthened. One should not think that this will benefit only women; it will promote world equilibrium, and thus is necessary for harmonious evolution.
Agni Yoga, Supermundane, 38. (1938)
To all these insanities will be added the most shameful—the intensified competition between male and female. We insist upon equal and full rights for women, but the servants of darkness will expel them from many fields of activity, even where they bring the most benefit. We have spoken about the many maladies in the world, but the renewed struggle between the male and female principles will be the most tragic. It is hard to imagine how disastrous this will be, for it is a struggle against evolution itself! What a high price humanity pays for every such opposition to evolution! In these convulsions the young generations are corrupted. Plato spoke about beautiful thinking, but what kind of beauty is possible when there is hostility between man and woman? Now is the time to think about equal and full rights, but darkness invades the tensed realms.
Agni Yoga, Supermundane, 286. (1938)
Keep in mind that the participation of a woman is particularly helpful... We have already spoken about the desirability of participation by women in scientific experiments. Ancient alchemists understood the full value of the feminine contribution, but today many scientists reject it. Because of this, the participation of women is frequently indirect, rather than direct. Nevertheless, the fundamental nature of things will attract women, and they will leave their mark in new discoveries. For this reason it is essential to change the status of women. The subtlety and refinement of women's nature must be understood, so that they may achieve equal rights and the desired balance. It would be a sad mistake for women to replace soldiers on the battlefield, or perform heavy labor. When we are aware of the presence of valuable subtle energy we ought to be able to apply it accordingly. Thus, we once again come to the notion of true cooperation.
We must find the right use for every ability. The era of the Mother of the World is not a return of the age of Amazons. A far greater, loftier, and more refined task is before us. One can observe that machines often function better, and plants can live longer, in the hands of women. Of course, I do not speak of all women, but of those exceptional ones who manifest the subtlest energy. Their abilities glorify the age of the Mother of the World, and relate closely to the realm of healing. And another quality belongs to woman—she manifests the highest degree of devotion. The greatest truths are revealed by her. Reality confirms this. Woman can ensure that new knowledge is properly applied.
Every appeal for the renewal of life must address the needs of women and the young. Some people think that both of these aspects of life are secure, and are developing successfully, but in reality the position of woman and the education of the young are not at all in a satisfactory condition. Only a small number of women can assume equal rights in the conditions of life, and in most schools the foundations of a sound life are not taught. Evolution cannot proceed successfully when two pillars of support have not yet been made secure. It should not be thought that evolution proceeds under any conditions; it can be obstructed, and much precious energy will be wasted.
The Thinker said, "O, ye wise men, your efforts will be fruitless if woman does not stretch out her hand to you, and if you do not raise a generation of heroes!"
I have feminist bones and when I hear things or see people react to women in certain ways I have very little tolerance.
Gillian Anderson, Glamour "I have a healthy appreciation of Ryan Gosling" (August, 2014)
We ask justice, we ask equality, we ask that all civil and political rights that belong to the citizens of the United States be guaranteed to us and our daughters forever.
Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Matilda Joslyn Gage, and Ida Husted Harper in History of Woman Suffrage (1886), p. 34
If all Men Are born Free, how is it that all women are born Slaves?
Mary Astell, Some Reflections Upon Marriage
It should not prejudice my voice that I'm not born a man, if I say something advantageous to the present situation. For I'm taxed too, and as a toll provide men for the nation.
Aristophanes in Lysistrata (411 BC), line 649-651, [as translated by Jack Lindsay, (1925), at Perseus online
Does feminist mean large unpleasant person who'll shout at you or someone who believes women are human beings? To me it's the latter, so I sign up.
Margaret Atwood, as quoted in Women Know Everything! : 3,241 Quips, Quotes, & Brilliant Remarks (2007) by Karen Weekes, p. 156
B[edit]
The subjection of women in Western lands is wholly due to Christianity. Among the Teutons women were honoured, and held a noble and dignified place in the tribe; Christianity brought with it the evil Eastern habit of regarding women as intended for the toys and drudges of man, and intensified it with a special spite against them, as the daughters of Eve, who was first "deceived." Strangely different to the *general Eastern feeling and showing a truer and nobler view of life, is the precept of Manu: Where women are honoured, there the deities are pleased; but where they are dishonoured, there all religious acts become fruitless.
Annie Besant, in Christianity: Its Evidences, Its Origin, Its Morality, Its History
People feel much more comfortable with the 50 Shades of Grey version of women's liberation: possibly feeling life would be much simpler if the suffragettes hadn't wanted the vote and just really enjoyed chaining themselves to railings.
Frankie Boyle, writing in the Guardian, 7 April 2015.
Woman herself, long conscious of complete humanity, today desires only that others shall recognize it and honestly accept the implications of such recognitions....The Word "Feminism", a much maligned word, which has come to stand for many irrelevancies, such as dowdiness and physical abnormality, still adequately expresses her true desire, a desire that might well be summed up in one sentence addressed to mankind: 'Recognize our full humanity, and we will trouble you no more".
Vera Brittain, "Why Feminism Lives', pamphlet published by the Six Point Group in 1927. Reprinted in Maggie Humm, Feminisms: A Reader ,Routledge, 2014.
A women in the Black Power movement was considered, at best, irrelevant. A woman asserting herself was a pariah. A woman attempting the role of leadership was, to my proud black Brothers, making an alliance with the "counter-revolutionary, man-hating, lesbian, feminist white bitches." It was a violation of some Black Power principle that was left undefined. If a black woman assumed a role of leadership, she was said to be eroding black manhood, to be hindering the progress of the black race. She was an enemy of black people.
Elaine Brown, A Taste of Power (1992)
C[edit]
Women's liberation... It is absolutely necessary that humanity realizes that the male and female are in polarity. Energetically, both are necessary on the planet - not the domination of one by the other.
Benjamin Creme in The Reappearance of the Christ and the Masters of Wisdom (1980)
The coming age is the age in which the Mother Principle will come into its own. The age of Maitreya is the age of Tara, the World Mother. The mother nourishes the child, nourishes the family, and the female principle nourishes the civilization. For that reason alone the female principle must be given its full expression. That means that all women must have full and equal human rights with men... To work correctly in the new Aquarian age concept of group work, every member, male and female alike, should see him or herself as a full, equal, responsible member of the group, no one higher or lower than another. p. 497
Benjamin Creme Maitreya's Mission Volume Two, Share International Foundation (1993)
Women are less competitive, more ready to see the other point of view, tend to be more tolerant, more ready to compromise. They generally have more common sense. I am not suggesting that male leadership should be superseded by the leadership of women. That would merely be changing roles without changing the situation. We need, not leadership, but full participation, which means everyone accepting responsibility. p. 499
D[edit]
(Women's Liberation) ... is an ontological, spiritual revolution, pointing beyond the idolatries of sexist society and sparking creative action in and toward transcendence. The becoming of women implies universal human becoming. It has everything to do with the search for ultimate meaning and reality which some would call God. p. 6
Mary Daly in Beyond God the Father: Toward a Philosophy of Women's Liberation (1973)
It requires a kick in the imagination, a wrenching of tired words, to realize that feminism is the final and therefore the first cause, and that this movement is movement. Realization of this is already the beginning of a qualitative leap in be-ing. For the philosophers of senescence 'the final cause' is in technical reason; it is the Father's plan, an endless flow of Xerox copies of the past. But the final cause that is movement is in our imaginative-cerebral-emotional-active-creative be-ing. p. 190
Several meanings of the word Elemental converge for the conjuring of Elemental feminist philosophy. An 'obsolete' definition is 'material, physical.' The philosophy here unfolded is material/physical as well as spiritual, mending/transcending this deceptive dichotomy. p 11; Women who lust for wisdom become astonished/astonishing, Wondering. As Muses of our own creation, Wonderlusters re-member our Original Powers. Unlike the frozen 'philosophy' that is packaged and stored within academic refrigerators, Wonderlust moves us always. Our vehicles are often Metaphors. Our destinations are Realms of Metabeing. p. 26
Mary Daly in Pure Lust: Elemental Feminist Philosophy (1984)
The symbol, God as Verb, was an essential step in my intellectual process to the Metaphor, Goddess as Verb. Often feminists try to eliminate this step, with the unfortunate result that 'The Goddess' functions as a static symbol, simply replacing the noun God. In writing Beyond God the Father, I also used the expression Power of Be-ing to refer to ultimate/ intimate reality. p. 423
The word 'radical' means 'going to the roots'. It is derived from the Latin radix, meaning root. Radical Feminism goes to the root of oppression and the way out. And I define it as "way of being characterised by (a) an Awesome and Ecstatic sense of Otherness from patriarchal norms and values (b) conscious awareness of the sadosociety's sanctions against Radical Feminists (c) moral outrage on behalf of women as women (d) commitment to the cause of women that persists, even against the current, when feminism is no longer 'popular'; in other words, constancy.
Mary Daly quoted in Interview Mary Daly, Philosophy Now, Issue 33, (September/October 2001)
To be a Radical Feminist now is to do quantum leaping. That means to act with fantastic courage because you see real hope now, not lovely little lah-didah hope (a very contained hope), but really great Hope for participation in Quintessence, which is the harmony of the universe.
Glass ceiling feminism is grounded from the very outset in hierarchies. I mean, how else does that metaphor work? Those who are already high enough to reach the ceiling are probably white, and then if they're not white, they are already affluent. Because they're at the top. All they have to do is push through the ceiling. And as long as I have identified as a feminist, it has been clear to me that any feminism that privileges those that already have privilege is bound to be irrelevant to poor women, working class women, women of color, trans women, trans women of color. If standards for feminism are created by those who have already ascended economic hierarchies and are attempting to make the last climb to the top, how is this relevant to women who are at the very bottom? Revolutionary hope resides precisely among those women who have been abandoned by history and who are now standing up and making their demands heard.

To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice to woman. If by strength is meant brute strength, then, indeed, is woman less brute than man. If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior. Has she not greater intuition, is she not more self-sacrificing, has she not greater powers of endurance, has she not greater courage? Without her, man could not be. If nonviolence is the law of our being, the future is with woman. Who can make a more effective appeal to the heart than woman?
Mahatma Gandhi, Young India (4 October 1930)
Man, are you capable of being just? It is a woman who poses the question; you will not deprive her of that right at least. Tell me, what gives you sovereign empire to oppress my sex? Your strength? Your talents?
Olympe de Gouges, "Declaration of Rights of Women", Postscript
Woman, wake up; the tocsin of reason is being heard throughout the whole universe; discover your rights. The powerful empire of nature is no longer surrounded by prejudice, fanaticism, superstition, and lies. The flames of truth has dispersed all the clouds of folly and usurpation. Enslaved man has multiplied his strength and needs recourse to yours to break his chains. Having become free, he has become unjust to his companion.

bell hooks, Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center (1984), Preface, p. xiii.
Feminism in the United States has never emerged from the women who are most victimized by sexist oppression; women who are daily beaten down, mentally, physically, and spiritually-women who are powerless to change their condition in life. They are a silent majority. A mark of their victimization is that they accept their lot in life without visible question, without organized protest, without collective anger or rage.

Women are the carriers of society's values ... men are deviant in the sense that many of the qualities admired in them are also one's that society has to regard with disapproval ... Women's Lib portrays society and morality as a male invention to coerce and punish women ... [yet] women are a virtuous group seeking to impose their moral standards on men.

J.K. Rowling's decision to double-down on her resistance to transgender dogma is not surprising but it is powerful, and for one particular reason: her feminist framing... Rowling is rightfully claiming the feminist mantle. Transgender ideology, which allows men to literally claim the experience of womanhood despite not being born as biological women, dilutes and undermines the significance of the female experience... The biological and cultural implications of femininity demand a women's movement that fully accepts that reality. Otherwise, it cannot fully represent women's interests because it does not acknowledge them.... Affirming the particular experience of womanhood is what the feminist movement should be all about... It's mystifying how feminists who share Rowling's perspective on this issue have been cast aside by the movement. That defending this perspective now means she will receive days of bad press from the world's most powerful media outlets is similarly baffling.

The country is governed for the richest, for the corporations, the bankers, the land speculators, and for the exploiters of labour. Surely we must free men and women together before we can free women. The majority of mankind are working people. So long as their fair demands -- the ownership and control of their lives and livelihood -- are set at naught, we can have neither men's rights nor women's rights. The majority of mankind are ground down by industrial oppression in order that the small remnant may live in ease. How can women hope to help themselves while we and our brothers are helpless against the powerful organizations which modern parties represent and which contrive to rule the people? They rule the people because they own the means of physical life, land, and tools, and the nourishers of intellectual life, the press, the church, and the school.

We all grow in a culture in which women's bodies are constantly turned into things, into objects. [...] Of course these affects female self-steem. It also does something even more insidious. It create a climate in which there is wide-spread violence against women. [...] Turning a human being into a thing is the first step towards justified violence against that person.

I always believed that the time inevitably must come when woman will be judged by the same moral standards applied to man. For it is not her specific feminine virtue that gives her a place of honor in human society, but the worth of the useful mission accomplished by her, the worth of her personality as human being, as citizen, as thinker, as fighter.

People like Dawkins are the public face of atheism. And that public face is one that is defensively and irrationally sexist. It's not only turning women away from atheism, it's discrediting the idea that atheists are actually people who argue from a position of rationality. How can they be, when they cling to the ancient, irrational tradition of treating women like they aren't quite as human as men?

A male hero, at best, lacks the qualities of maternal love and tenderness which are as essential to a normal child as the breath of life. Suppose your child's ideal becomes a superman who uses his extraordinary power to help the weak. The most important ingredient in the human happiness recipe still is missing-love. It's smart to be strong. It's big to be generous. But it's sissified according to exclusively masculine rules, to be tender, loving affectionate, and alluring. "Aw, that's girl's stuff!" snorts our young comics reader. "Who wants to be a girl?" And that's the point. Not even girls want to be girls so long as our feminine archetype lacks force, strength, and power. Not wanting to be girls, they don't want to be tender, submissive, peace-loving as good women are. Women's strong qualities have become despised because of their weakness. The obvious remedy is to create a feminine character with all the strength of Superman plus all the allure of a good and beautiful woman.

It's just that there's a group of people that kind of fit into that category more than me. I just always say I don't really go for titles or this or that. But I'm all for all our gals.

As the us-versus-them opposition is replicated within the original grouping, policing actions get under way. This is a form of behavior that, in addition to allowing some people to be censorious and aggressive toward others, reflects a presumption of rights and wrongs: We are right. You are wrong. Many feminists have trouble swallowing this. As a political science professor from Texas (who has a bumper sticker on her pickup truck saying FEMINIST REDNECK) wrote to us: "At 50 years of age, I have not thrown off the yoke of one master to have it replaced by another, even if its name is feminism."

Could the terrors and crimes of today be possible if both Origins had been balanced? In the hands of woman lies the salvation of humanity and of our planet. Woman must realize her significance... she should be prepared to take responsibility for the destiny of humanity. Mother, the life-giver, has every right to direct the destiny of her children. The voice of woman, the mother, should be heard amongst the leaders of humanity. The mother suggests the first conscious thoughts to her child. She gives direction and quality to all his aspirations and abilities. But the mother who possesses no thought of culture can suggest only the lower expressions of human nature.
But in her striving toward education, woman must remember that all educational systems are only the means for the development of a higher knowledge and culture. The true culture of thought is developed by the culture of spirit and heart. Only such a combination gives that great synthesis without which it is impossible to realize the real grandeur, diversity, and complexity of human life in its cosmic evolution. Therefore, while striving to knowledge, may woman remember the Source of Light and the Leaders of Spirit—those great Minds who, verily, created the consciousness of humanity. In approaching this Source, this leading Principle of Synthesis, humanity will find the way to real evolution.
Helena Roerich Letters I, (1 March 1929)
It is also said: "As the Teacher creates through his disciples, even so woman creates through the masculine principle. Therefore woman uplifts man." Hence, woman must raise herself to such a degree, spiritually, morally and intellectually, that it will enable her to carry man with her. Remember the painting by N. K., "She who Leads." Thus woman must occupy the place destined for her. She must become not only an equal cooperator in the management of the whole life, but also an inspirer. The greatest task is to spiritualize and to restore the health of humanity by filling it with aspiration toward great deeds and beauty. But woman must first of all change herself! Therefore, the call to woman must be primarily the call to self-perfection, for the realization of her dignity and her great destiny and to lay the foundation of Beness and for the awakening of the impulse toward creativeness and beauty. It is said: "The Equilibrium of the world cannot be established without true understanding of the First Causes. . . . Therefore, let us be affirmed in consciousness upon the power of Equilibrium, as the stimulus of Existence, of the First Causes, and of Beauty. Hence it is so indispensable to affirm in the spirit the Feminine Principle." (Fiery World III)
Helena Roerich Letters I, (17 August 1934)
The most ancient Teachings always highly regarded the Feminine Principle, and even female divinities were considered by them to be the most sacred. We can now find traces of these most ancient cults among the American Indians, whose priesthood is headed by women; women also head the clan, and the whole line of inheritance is considered as coming from the woman's side. Likewise, there is no distinction between the two Origins in the Teaching of Buddha, and woman, as well as man, can reach the state of Arhatship. And even now in India, in spite of the fact that the later Brahmins humiliated woman because of greed and self-interest, the cult of the Goddess Kali is nevertheless spread most widely.
The last of the known sages of India, Ramakrishna and Vivekananda, were worshippers of the Divine Origin in its aspect of the Mother of the World. Indeed, it is the ignorant and avaricious distortion of the cosmic law that has placed woman in a subjugated position.
Certainly it would be wrong to blame the Masculine Principle alone for the situation created; woman, too, is at fault. Many women welcomed being constantly in custody as wards, and precisely this weakened their strength and dulled their abilities. Therefore, nowadays a reverse order is necessary. Woman must accept the struggle against life's obstacles in order to temper her strength and manifest her true nature.
Helena Roerich, in Letters of Helena Roerich II, (1937)
The famous philosophers' stone cannot be discovered or created without the participation of woman... The first task which faces women is to insist in all countries upon full rights and equal education with men; to try with all their might to develop their thinking faculties, and, above all, to learn to stand on their own feet without leaning altogether upon men. In the West there are many fields which are now available to women, and one must admit that they are quite successful in all of them.
It is necessary to awaken in woman herself a great respect for her own Origin; she should realize her great destiny as a bearer of the higher energy. Indeed, it is woman's intuition which should again, as in the better periods of history, lead humanity on the path of progress...
The combinations of the luminaries are favorable for the awakening of women, and I believe that the new influx of psychic energy will be utilized by women for lofty tasks and in search of new achievements for the good of humanity. Let the fire of achievement in the name of great service be truly kindled in woman. The quality of self-sacrifice is fundamental in woman, but she should learn not to limit her self-sacrifice to the narrow concept of home life, which is often nothing more than encouragement of the family's egotism—she should apply it on a world scale. I believe that woman should be even more educated and cultured than man, for indeed it is she who instills in her family the first concepts of knowledge, culture, and understanding of statesmanship.
In all domains of science, art, social work, and government, woman has proved to be capable of reaching the greatest heights when circumstances were favorable... And the many other talented women—actresses, painters, poets, among all nationalities! So many wise leaders, warriors, and great saints among women! The image of St. Theresa, the Spaniard, is not less than that of St Francis of Assisi... It would be well to also remember the slandered image of Aspasia. Socrates used to call her his teacher, and the great Plato mentioned her reverently in his writings. Also, through her many useful reforms the reign of the woman-Pharaoh, Hatsepsut, far surpassed that of many Pharaohs. And was she not the one who, by her wise rule, paved the way for the latter victories of Tethmosis III?
According to the Sacred Teaching, the fall of humanity began from the time of the abasement of the Feminine Principle. Therefore, with the beginning of the Epoch of the Mother of the World woman should realize that she herself contains all forces, and the moment she shakes of the age-old hypnosis of her seemingly lawful subjugation and mental inferiority and occupies herself with a manifold education, she will create in collaboration with man a new and better world. Indeed, it is essential that woman herself refute the unworthy and profoundly ignorant assertion about her passive receptivity and therefore her inability to create independently. But in the entire Cosmos there is no passive element. In the chain of creation each manifestation in its turn becomes relatively passive or active, giving or receiving.
Helena Roerich, in Letters of Helena Roerich II, (9 August 1937)
Cosmos affirms the greatness of woman's creative principle. Woman is a personification of nature, and it is nature that teaches man, not man nature. Therefore, may all women realize the grandeur of their origin, and may they strive for knowledge. Where there is knowledge, there is power. Ancient legends actually attribute to woman the role of the guardian of sacred-knowledge. Therefore, may she now also remember her defamed ancestress, Eve, and again harken to the voice of her intuition in not only eating of but also planting as many tree, bearing the fruits of the knowledge of good and evil as possible. And as before, when she deprived Adam of his dull, senseless bliss, so let her now lead him on to a still broader vista and into the majestic battle with the chaos of ignorance for her divine rights.
Women must without delay begin to perfect themselves in all fields, and this is not done at a moment's notice. First of all, we women have so much to outlive. Let us develop primarily a sense of our own dignity and learn to lean courageously on our own strength and knowledge, in order to join in, as well as accept, responsibility for the great structure of General Good.
Let us also recall the ancient times when, in spite of the fact that masculine egoism always attempted to suppress the achievements of women, there were always some illumined minds that did not submit to this shameful weakness.
With the demeaning of woman the coarsening and degeneration of humanity was unavoidable. There exists a most ancient saying, "Where women are revered and safeguarded, prosperity reigns and the gods rejoice." The New Epoch... will bring the renaissance of woman. The Epoch of Maitreya is the Epoch of the Mother of the World.
Helena Roerich, in Letters of Helena Roerich II, (5 April 1938)
I hasten to fulfill your request and to give my opinion regarding the Call to the Women of the Whole World. I do not see why you cannot put this thought into practice. Each reminder about woman's dignity and the importance of women in constructing new forms of life is highly useful and timely. The advancement of women in governmental circles and their successful execution of various public duties in many countries have so strongly affirmed the recognition of their equal abilities that only very backward consciousnesses can raise objections in principle to this statement and to the admittance of women to the most responsible positions. Your young country, now living in its springtime and aspiring toward the welfare and renascence of its people, of course can but harken to the steps of evolution; therefore it should rejoice at the possibility of strengthening its spiritual and intellectual power by elevating the level of consciousness and dignity of its women. "It is not possible for the bird of humanity to fly on only one wing."
Helena Roerich, in Letters of Helena Roerich II, (23 April 1938)
If feminist psychology is correct, the very concept of scientific "objectivity" as a disciplined withdrawal of sympathy by the knower from the known, is a male separation anxiety writ large. Written, in fact, upon the entire universe.

We're living through the most misogynistic period I've experienced. Back in the 80s, I imagined that my future daughters, should I have any, would have it far better than I ever did, but between the backlash against feminism and a porn-saturated online culture, I believe things have got significantly worse for girls. Never have I seen women denigrated and dehumanised to the extent they are now. From the leader of the free world's long history of sexual assault accusations and his proud boast of grabbing them by the pussy, to the incel ('involuntarily celibate') movement that rages against women who won't give them sex, to the trans activists who declare that TERFs need punching and re-educating, men across the political spectrum seem to agree: women are asking for trouble. Everywhere, women are being told to shut up and sit down, or else.

I'm an open and vocal feminist on the internet, so I'm no stranger to some level of sexist backlash.
I was attacked via nearly every facet of my online life by a loosely coordinated cyber mob. All of my social networks were flooded with a torrent of misogynist and racist slurs as well as threats of rape, violence and death. The wikipedia article about me was vandalized with similar sentiments. When I publicly shared what was happening to me, the perpetrators responded by escalating their harassment campaign and attempting to DDoS my website and hack into my online accounts. They also tried to collect and distribute my personal info including my home address and phone number. They made pornographic images in my likeness being raped by video games characters which they distributed and sent to me over and over again. Attempts were made to discredit me and my project by creating and posting false quotes or fake tweets attributed to me. There was also a flash game developed where players were invited to "beat the bitch up". Unfortunately I still receive threats and explicit images on a semi-regular basis. In December 2012, I gave a TEDxWomen talk where I discuss in more detail what happened, and how these large scale loosely organized Cyber Mob attacks operate.
When I was about 10, I remember I campaigned for months to convince my parents that the "Game Boy" was not in fact just for boys. Eventually I won the debate and got my first portable gaming device the following Christmas. So even though I've always been enthusiastic about games, I've also always been bothered and disappointed with the way women were represented much of the time.
Anita Sarkeesian "Full IGN interview with Anita Sarkeesian", IGN, June 6, 2013.
While God created Adam, who was alone, He said, 'It is not good for man to be alone.' He also created a woman, from the earth, as He had created Adam himself, and called her Lilith. Adam and Lilith immediately began to fight. She said, 'I will not lie below,' and he said, 'I will not lie beneath you, but only on top. For you are fit only to be in the bottom position, while I am to be the superior one.' Lilith responded, 'We are equal to each other inasmuch as we were both created from the earth.' But they would not listen to one another. When Lilith saw this, she pronounced the Ineffable Name and flew away into the air.

In addition to the explicit feminist works, there is always a literature with deliberate, oblique approaches to feminism or "the woman question" even by avowed feminists.
Kaushal Kishore Sharma, in Feminism, Censorship and Other Essays (2003), p. 6
Feminism is the radical notion that women are people.
Marie Shear, reviewing Kramarae and Treichler's A Feminist Dictionary in the news journal New Directions for Women, volume 15, issue 3 (May/June 1986), page 6.
I have repeatedly stressed that the rape of the Earth and rape of women are intimately linked - both metaphorically, in shaping world-views, and materially, in shaping women's everyday lives. The deepening economic vulnerability of women makes them more vulnerable to all forms of violence,including sexual assault, as we found out during a series of public hearings on the impact of economic reforms on women organized by the National Commission on Women and the Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Ecology.
Vandana Shiva in Ecofeminism, Maria Mies and Vandana Shiva, 1993, 2014 Foreword (2014)
When Maria Mies and I wrote Ecofeminism two decades ago, we were addressing the emerging challenges of our times. Every threat we identified has grown deeper. And with it has grown the relevance of an alternative to capitalist patriarchy if humanity and the diverse species with which we share the planet are to survive. Ecofeminism was first published one year after the Earth Summit, where two important treaties were signed by the governments of the world: the Convention on Biological Diversity and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. There was no World Trade Organization. However, two years after Ecofeminism, the WTO was established, privileging corporate rights, commerce and profits, and further undermining the rights of the Earth, the rights of women and the rights of future generations. We wrote about what globalization implied for nature and women. Every crisis we mentioned is deeper; every expression of violence more brutal.
When we wrote Ecofeminism we raised the issue of reductionist, mechanistic science and the attitude of mastery over and conquest of nature as an expression of capitalist patriarchy. Today the contest between an ecological and feminist world-view and a worldview shaped by capitalist patriarchy is more intense than ever. This contest is particularly intense in the area of food. GMOs embody the vision of capitalist patriarchy.
The national accounting systems which are used for calculating growth in terms of GDP are based on the assumption that if producers consume what they produce, they do not in fact produce at all, because they fall outside the production boundary. The production boundary is a political creation that, in its workings, excludes regenerative and renewable production cycles from the area of production. Hence all women who produce for their families, children, community and society are treated as 'non-productive' and 'economically inactive'.... The devaluation of women's work, and of work done in subsistence economies of the South, is the natural outcome of a production boundary constructed by capitalist patriarchy. By restricting itself to the values of the market economy, as defined by capitalist patriarchy, the production boundary ignores economic value in the two vital economies which are necessary to ecological and human survival: nature's economy and the sustenance economy. In these economies, economic value is a measure of how the Earth's life and human life are protected. The currency is life-giving processes, not cash or the market price. Second, a model of capitalist patriarchy which excludes women's work and wealth creation in the mind deepens the violence by displacing women from their livelihoods and alienating them from the natural resources on which their livelihoods depend -their land, their forests, their water, their seeds and biodiversity.
...No doubt about it, ideas about what women can do, and do well, have changed. And what women mind has changed. Male behaviour, from the caddish to the outright violent, that until recently was accepted without demurral is seen today as outrageous by many women who not so long ago were putting up with it themselves and who would still protest indignantly if someone described them as feminists.
Susan Sontag, Where the Stress Falls: essays (2003). Also quoted in Brian McNair, Striptease Culture: Sex, Media and the Democratisation of Desire, Routledge, 2002 (p.19).
I believe anyone who supports feminism is anti-woman even if they are not conscious of it. Feminism and "female empowerment" has led to a generation of the least happy women in history. They are lost and are being told that they are the EXACT same as men and should be able to compete at the same level in all fields of life. How sad to always fail at something you are supposed to be equal in. How sad to be led astray to never get married then hit a wall where you wish for nothing more than a family but cannot have it... simply because you bought into this false notion of feminism that promised happiness and fulfillment. The reality is women are biologically different and different things will make them happy.

Ought not every woman, like every man, to follow the bent of her own talents?
Anne Louise Germaine de Staël, Corinne (1807), Bk. XIV, ch. 1
[W]hile the man is born to do whatever he can, for the woman and the negro there is no such privilege.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton As quoted in Fateful Lightning: A New History of the Civil War and Reconstruction (2012), by Allen C. Guelzo, Chapter One
The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations on the part of man toward woman, having in direct object the establishement of an absolute tyrrany over her... He has never permitted her to exercise her inalienable right to the elective to the franchise. He has compelled her to submit to laws, in the formation of wich she has no voice...
Having deprived her of this first right of a citizen, the elective franchise , thereby leaving her without representation in the halls of legislation, her has oppressed her on all sides. He has made her, if married, in the eye of the law, civilly dead.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton in Declaration of Sentiments, Seneca Falls Convention (July 19-20, 1848).
Resolved, That is the duty of the women of this country to secure to themselves their sacred right to the elective franchise.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton First Woman's Rights Convention, Seneca Falls, New York, [July, 19-20, 1848]. Resolution IX.
The prejudice against color, of which we hear so much, is no stronger than that against sex. It is produced by the same cause, and manifested very much in the same way. The negro's skin and the woman's sex are both prima facie evidence that they were intended to be in subjection to the white Saxon man.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton Speech before the New York Legislature (1860-02-18).
Women's degradation is in man's idea of his sexual rights. Our religion, laws, customs, are all founded on the belief that woman was made for man. Come what will, my whole soul rejoices in the truth that I have uttered.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton Letter to Susan B. Anthony (1860-06-14).
Our "pathway" is straight to the ballot box, with no variableness nor shadow of turning...We demand in the Reconstruction suffrage for all the citizens of the Republic. I would not talk of Negroes or women, but of citizens.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton Letter to Thomas Wentworth Higginson (1868-01-13).
Women have crucified the Mary Wollstonecrafts, the Fanny Wrights, and the George Sands of all ages. Men mock us with the fact and say we are ever cruel to each other... If this present woman must be crucified, let men drive the spikes.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton in Letter to Lucretia Mott (1872-04-01).
We are, as a sex, infinitely superior to men, and if we were free and developed, healthy in body and mind, as we should be under natural conditions, our motherhood would be our glory. That function gives women such wisdom and power as no male can possess.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men and women are created equal.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton in First Woman's Rights Convention, Seneca Falls, New York, [July, 19-20, 1848]. Declaration of Sentiments.
To deny political equality is to rob the ostracised of all self-respect; of credit in the market place; of recompense in the world of work; of a voice among those who make and administer the law; a choice in the jury before whom they are tried, and in the judge who decides their punishment.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton address to the Committee of the Judiciary of the United States Congress, (18 January 1892)
The darkest page in history is the persecutions of woman.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton in The Woman's Bible (1898)
Men think that self-sacrifice is the most charming of all the cardinal virtues for women, and in order to keep it in healthy working order, they make opportunities for its illustration as often as possible. I would fain teach women that self-development is a higher duty than self-sacrifice.
The only points in which I differ from all ecclesiastical teaching is that I do not believe that any man ever saw or talked with God, I do not believe that God inspired the Mosaic code, or told the historians what they say he did about woman, for all the religions on the face of the earth degrade her, and so long as woman accepts the position that they assign her, her emancipation is impossible.
Accepting the view that man was prior in the creation, some Scriptural writers say that as the woman was of the man, therefore, her position should be one of subjection. Grant it, then as the historical fact is reversed in our day, and the man is now of the woman, shall his place be one of subjection?
In the criminal code we find no feminine pronouns, as "He," "His," "Him," we are arrested, tried and hung, but singularly enough, we are denied the highest privileges of citizens, because the pronouns "She," "Hers" and "Her," are not found in the constitutions. It is a pertinent question, if women can pay the penalties of their crimes as "He," why may they not enjoy the privileges of citizens as "He"?
My spirituality has always been linked to my feminism. Feminism is about challenging unequal power structures.
Starhawk, as quoted in Womanspirit Rising : A Feminist Reader in Religion (1979) by Carol P. Christ and Judith Plaskow
Once men realize that they are also deprived — not as much as women, just as whites are not as deprived as blacks — but there is a full circle of human qualities we all have a right to. And they're confined to the "masculine" ones, which are seventy percent of all of them, and we're confined to the "feminine" ones, which are thirty percent. We're missing more, but they're still missing a lot. If a man fights to be his whole self, to be creative, to express emotions men are not supposed to express, do jobs men are not supposed to do, take care of his own children — all of these things are part of the feminist movement.
Gloria Steinem, in an interview with Marianne Schnall (3 April 1995)

Well, children, when there is so much racket there be must something out of kilter. I think that 'twixt the Negroes of the South and the women of the North, all talking about rights, the white men will be in a fix pretty soon. But what's all this here talking about?
Sojourner Truth, as quoted in The Harbrace Guide to Writing, Concise, p. 50, by Cheryl Glenn. Editorial Cengage Learning, 2011. ISBN 113317146X.
If the balance between male and female energies had not been destroyed on our planet, the ego's growth would have been greatly curtailed. We would not have declared war on nature, and we would not be so completely alienated from our Being... The suppression of the feminine principle especially over the past two thousand years has enabled the ego to gain absolute supremacy in the collective human psyche. Although women have egos, of course, the ego can take root and grow more easily in the male form than in the female. This is because women are less mind identified than men. They are more in touch with the inner body and the intelligence of the organism where the intuitive faculties originate. The female form is less rigidly encapsulated than the male, has greater openness and sensitivity toward other lifeforms, and is more attuned to the natural world.
Eckhart Tolle, in A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose (2005)
Nobody knows the exact figure because records were not kept, but it seems certain that during a three hundred year period between three and five million women were tortured and killed by the Holy Inquisition an institution founded by the Roman Catholic Church to suppress heresy. This sure ranks together with the Holocaust as one of the darkest chapters in human history. It was enough for a woman to show a love for animals, walk alone in the fields or woods, or gather medicinal plants to be branded a witch, then tortured and burned at the stake. The sacred feminine was declared demonic, and an entire dimension largely disappeared from human experience. Other cultures and religions, such as Judaism, Islam, and even Buddhism, also suppressed the female dimension, although in a less violent way. Women's status was reduced to being child bearers and men's property. Males who denied the feminine even within themselves were now running the world, a world that was totally out of balance. The rest is history or rather a case history of insanity.
Eckhart Tolle, in A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose p. 96 (2005)
Who was responsible for this fear of the feminine that could only be described as acute collective paranoia? We could say: Of course, men were responsible. But then why in many ancient pre-Christian civilizations such as the Sumerian, Egyptian, and Celtic were women respected and the feminine principle not feared but revered? What is it that suddenly made men feel threatened by the female? The evolving ego in them. It knew it could gain full control of our planet only through the male form, and to do so, it had to render the female powerless...
We now have a situation in which the suppression of the feminine has become internalized, even in most women. The sacred feminine, because it is suppressed, is felt by many women as emotional pain. In fact, it has become part of their painbody, together with the accumulated pain suffered by women over millennia through childbirth, rape, slavery, torture and violent death.... But things are changing rapidly now. With many people becoming more conscious, the ego is losing its hold on the human mind. Because the ego was never as deeply rooted in woman, it is losing its hold on women more quickly than on men.
Feminism is a rebellion against the ruthless tyranny of the male, an attempt to dethrone his autocratic rule and revert to a more natural sexual equality.
Blanche Shoemaker Wagstaff, "The Elimination of the Male", in The International, Vol. 7, no. 11 (November 1913), p. 319.
The more I have spoken about feminism the more I have realized that fighting for women's rights has too often become synonymous with man-hating. If there is one thing I know for certain, it is that this has to stop. For the record, feminism by definition is: "The belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. It is the theory of the political, economic and social equality of the sexes."
I started questioning gender-based assumptions when at eight I was confused at being called "bossy," because I wanted to direct the plays we would put on for our parents—but the boys were not. I decided I was a feminist and this seemed uncomplicated to me. But my recent research has shown me that feminism has become an unpopular word. Apparently I am among the ranks of women whose expressions are seen as too strong, too aggressive, isolating, anti-men and, unattractive. Why is the word such an uncomfortable one?
Emma Watson, Gender equality is your issue too, Speech by UN Women Goodwill Ambassador Emma Watson at a special event for the HeForShe campaign, United Nations Headquarters, New York, (20 September 2014)
I am from Britain and think it is right that as a woman I am paid the same as my male counterparts. I think it is right that I should be able to make decisions about my own body. I think it is right that women be involved on my behalf in the policies and decision-making of my country. I think it is right that socially I am afforded the same respect as men. But sadly I can say that there is no one country in the world where all women can expect to receive these rights. No country in the world can yet say they have achieved gender equality. These rights I consider to be human rights but I am one of the lucky ones. My life is a sheer privilege because my parents didn't love me less because I was born a daughter. My school did not limit me because I was a girl. My mentors didn't assume I would go less far because I might give birth to a child one day.
Most of the terrible women one must meet, women with the blatant views and voices, women who have to be noticed, who shoulder one about, who can't take life quietly, belong to this large percentage of women who have never made a sex adjustment.
John B. Watson in The Nation; as quoted in "The Last Amazon: Wonder Woman Returns" by Jill Lepore, The New Yorker, September 22, 2014.
I myself have never been able to find out what feminism is; I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat or a prostitute.
Rebecca West, in "Mr. Chesterton in Hysterics" in The Clarion, (14 November 1913)
Interviewer: So, why do you write these strong female characters?
Joss Whedon Because you're still asking me that question.
Joss Whedon "Joss Whedon Equality Now Tribute Address", 15 May 2006
This particular strand of feminism is characterized by two tenets: 1. men are jerks, and 2. women should strive by all means to become like them.
Douglas Wilson, "A Palin Critique" (2011-03-02), Blog and Mablog
"Elohim," the name for the creative power in Genesis, is a female plural, a fact that generations of learned rabbis and Christian theologians have all explained as merely grammatical convention. The King James and most other Bibles translate it as "God," but if you take the grammar literally, it seems to mean "goddesses." Al Shaddai, god of battles, appears later, and YHWH, mispronounced Jehovah, later still.
Robert Anton Wilson, in Everything Is Under Control : Conspiracies, Cults, and Cover-Ups (1998), Genesis, p. 197

Five in chase for Lord's Cricket Club housing
Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) has shortlisted five developers to build a 300,000 sq ft residential scheme at Lord's Cricket Ground in St John's Wood, London.
The shortlisted companies are:
Almacantar
Capital & Counties
Londonewcastle
Native Land
The development, along the eastern side of the ground on Wellington Road, is expected to substantially fund the first phase of MCC's £400m 'Vision for Lord's'.
In addition, the partner will work with MCC in making a planning application to Westminster City Council.
Subject to achieving planning permission, the aim is to start work on site after the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012, when Lord's will host the archery competition
Keith Bradshaw, MCC's secretary & chief executive, said: "Our decision to seek a development partner is driven by the club's fundamental objective of maintaining and enhancing the reputation of Lord's as the pre-eminent cricket ground in the world and the global home of cricket.
"We had a first class international response from development companies and we now look to move to the next stage of delivering the Vision for Lord's."
In arriving at the shortlist, MCC has been advised by Cushman & Wakefield.
No timetable has been set for the project


In what state is the project today and what are the plans to implement it massively in the short term?
Currently S!E is in the final phase of development and has new functionalities that make possible a better user experience. In this stage we incorporate the mesh technology that communicates to all the people who have the application allowing to send and receive messages without having to be connected to the Internet by mobile networks or wifi. This technology is key to redistributing the messages received by the radio between nearby devices, increasing the reach and effectiveness of such messages.
In what extreme conditions and through what media does the system work?
S!E has been designed with the aim of operating in very adverse conditions. You can continue to send messages even when there is no Internet access, as well as when the cellular base stations fail or when there is no electric service. This is possible because we use the radio infrastructure for the sending of messages, without interrupting or intervening the usual radial programming, encoding the information imperceptibly for the human ear and later decoding that information through a smartphone application, allowing to deliver Messages to citizens in conditions where no other technology can operate. Additionally, thanks to mesh technology we can re-send these messages between smartphones forming a peer-to-peer network that does not rely on the Internet or mobile networks.
We are constantly looking for new ways to strengthen communications and offer a comprehensive "all-terrain" emergency system that operates even in the most adverse situations.
What do users require to receive information from S!E?
Our mission is to communicate to as many people as possible, above all, the one that is uncommunicated or suffering with a catastrophe, which is why the technology was designed to operate on cell phones of any type, is low consumption and does not require a powerful cellphone to operate. The only basic requirement is that the computer has a microphone to decode messages from the radio, which has bluetooth antennas and wifi to be part of the mesh network, that is to say, works on any cell phone.
Of course, we will start by supporting the two dominant platforms Android and iOS, without closing us to expand the support to other platforms less popular.
What projection does S! E have? Possibilities to expand to other countries?
S!E has a great projection and has aroused interest from different entities and key people in the world of telecommunications, emergencies, business and technology, this motivates us to continue working to realize a comprehensive emergency system that allows to inform and communicate to the people during the contingency of a catastrophe and other emergencies.
There is clearly scope for expansion to other countries. Throughout the world there is a demand for emergency systems that improve or complement those already in existence.
Barbarita Lara as co-founder and CEO of Emercom, how and when did her motivation arise to address a technological solution to this problem?
Barbarita, how do you plan to focus your career beyond S!E? Looking for new projects or consolidating the system for a long time?
"Everything we do when we start and innovate in the technological world opens us doors to know and attack new problems. I will continue to create global impact solutions with the primary interest of helping all people and focusing our technical capabilities to provide solutions.
