"We
all need to understand that personal transformation and cultural -- economic and
political -- transformation are interconnected. For example, gender relationships,
which are tough for people to deal with, are key to whether a society orients
to domination or partnership in all its relations."
"Underneath
all the complex and seemingly random currents and crosscurrents, is the struggle
between two very different ways of relating, of viewing our world and living in
it. It is the struggle between two underlying possibilities for relations: the
partnership model and the domination model."
Part
of our higher destiny is to put love into action by challenging unjust authority,
by truly caring for ourselves, for one another, and our Mother Earth.
"We
can't do it by ourselves, but if enough of us do it, we change the cultural climate,
and then the leaders follow."
"For
most of recorded history, parental violence against children and men's violence
against wives was explicitly or implicitly condoned. Those who had the power to
prevent and/or punish this violence through religion, law, or custom, openly or
tacitly approved it. …..The reason violence against women and children is finally
out in the open is that activists have brought it to global attention."
