“Peace in patriarchy is war against women.”

“The division of the world which followed defined certain parts of the world as ‘nature’, that is, as savage, uncontrolled and, therefore, open for exploitation and civilizing efforts… the process of naturalization’ did not affect only the colonies as a whole and women of the working class the women of the bourgeoisie also were defined into nature as mere breeders and rearers of the heirs of the capitalist class. But in contrast to the African women who were seen as part of ‘savage’ nature, the bourgeois women were seen as ‘domesticated’nature.”

“Now, after the material resources of the colonies have been looted, their spiritual and cultural resources are being transformed into commodities for the world market.”

“Preventing war is the work of politicians, establishing peace is the work of educationists.”

“Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war.”

“At the same time we see the phenomenon of successful women adopting the standards of men with a vengeance. Will women's march to power ascendancy, won against all odds, mean that they too will choose to flaunt their preferences for red meat, animal skin, sport hunting, and even bullfighting? As women are swelling the ranks of biomedical science, many have adopted the practice of animal experimentation. Will animal exploitation become the ultimate symbol of equality with the white male?”

“If young women were not deceived into a belief that affectation pleases, they would scarcely trouble themselves to practise it so much.”
