Description

Overall, women seem to agree that unless one has pleasurable and engaging pursuits, staying home is no fun. Much of what men have to say would be a turnoff, so no wonder many male seducers learn to keep their thoughts to themselves, the better to manipulate and con their female admirers. Significantly, romantic friendships can coexist with the fact of partners' marrying because their reason for being is not to replace marriage but to open the possibility of sustained, committed true love existing among friends, and not just same-sex friends. And we felt sad for these men who were missing out on friendships that might have changed their perspective on love and life. Communion is the heart-to-heart talk every woman -- mother, daughter, friend, and lover -- needs to have.

bell hooks wroteover 30 books, leaving a legacy of powerful words on pain, love, equality and much more. Nothing indicts female allegiance to patriarchy more than the willingness to behave as though the problems created by cultural investment in sexist thinking about the nature of male and female roles can be solved by women's working harder. Women, like my mother, who have stayed in marriages with unkind husbands for more than fifty years, will condemn acts of cruelty and unkindness that as late as ten years ago they would have sought to justify or explain away.We continue to put in place the anti-sexist thinking and practice which affirms the reality that females can achieve self-actualization and success without dominating one another. It is a testament to the learned ignorance of political reality that so many females cannot accept that patriarchy requires of men cruelty to women, that the will to do violence defines heterosexual, patriarchal masculinity. Since the vast majority of heterosexual women, even those involved in radical feminist movement, were not willing to say no when they did not want to perform sexually for the fear of upsetting or alienating their mate, no significant group of men ever had to rise to the occasion. My youngest sister wears a button reading SO MANY MEN, SO MANY REASONS NOT TO SLEEP WITH ANY OF THEM. It is obvious that many women have appropriated feminism to serve their own ends, especially those white women who have been at the forefront of the movement; but rather than resigning myself to this appropriation I choose to re-appropriate the term ‘feminism’, to focus on the fact that to be ‘feminist’ in any authentic sense of the term is to want for all people, female and male, liberation from sexist role patterns, domination, and oppression.

The Guardian A life in quotes: bell hooks | Books | The Guardian

And many women like it like that, as long as they derive benefits from men and no negative side effects. If any female feels she need anything beyond herself to legitimate and validate her existence, she is already giving away her power to be self-defining, her agency. In our groups women confessed that the men in their lives did not want them to hang out with lesbians. The feminist movement created the social space for men to choose to stay home and be “househusbands,” and like housewives they suffer the same complaints if they are unable to use their time away from a paid job meaningfully.Men and women who cannot be just deny themselves and everyone they choose to be intimate with the freedom to know mutual love. In her trademark commanding and lucid language, hooks explores the ways ideas about women and love were changed by the feminist movement, by women's full participation in the workforce, and by the culture of self-help, and reveals how women of all ages can bring love into every aspect of their lives, for all the years of their lives. If the primary male figures in our lives are cruel, unkind, and in some cases violently abusive, this is the way we think men are. Luckily, by changing the workforce, the feminist movement did alter in fundamental ways how men see women. Women do not want to talk to men about love, because we do not want to hear that most men are simply not interested in the subject.

love and feminism bell hooks quotes: Her profound words on love and feminism

M. men all over the world will talk about their feelings and women all over the world will be sorry. How can any girl sustain the belief that she is loved, truly loved, when all around her she sees that femaleness is despised?In our feminist consciousness-raising groups, women involved with men often had the harshest stories to tell. Of course, many men in patriarchal relationships deploy emotional abuse and physical violence to avoid intimacy. Unable to change the fact of femaleness, she strives to make herself over, to become someone worthy of love.
