But I am thankful for the opportunity to learn something new and will try to read some of her work. I quickly looked up a few quotes from her which gave me a good chuckle. such as <br /><br />“Thus her whole identity hangs in the balance of her love life. She is allowed to love herself only if a man finds her worthy of love.” <br />― Shulamith Firestone, The Dialectic of Sex: The Case for Feminist Revolution - I guess I will never self love. and even better was from the dialectic of sex <br />......<br />“...childbirth is at best necessary and tolerable. It is not fun. <br />(Like shitting a pumpkin, a friend of mine told me when I inquired about the Great-Experience-You-Are-Missing.)”<br /><br />But while those made me chuckle I did get from reading some of her quotes that she some important insights to offer. SO as always my friend thank you for enlightening me with your knowledge..it is always much appreciated.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
