Women have traditionally deferred to the judgment of men although often while intimating a sensibility of their own which is at variance with that judgment.

. . . while men represent powerful activity as assertion and aggression, women in contrast portray acts of nurturance as acts of strength.

Everything about women is in perpetual crisis.

In the different voice of women lies the truth of an ethic of care, the tie between relationship and responsibility, and the origins of aggression in the failure of connection.

The women's movement is taking a different form right now, and it is because it has been so effective and so successful that there's a huge counter movement to try to stop it, to try to divide women from one another, to try to almost foment divisiveness.

It all goes back, of course, to Adam and Eve - a story which shows among other things, that if you make a woman out of a man, you are bound to get into trouble.
