Authority
However sugarcoated and ambiguous, every form of authoritarianism must start with a belief in some group's greater right to power, whether that right is justified by sex, race, class, religion or all four. However far it may expand, the progression inevitably rests on unequal power and airtight roles within the family.
Dress
For women... bras, panties, bathing suits, and other stereotypical gear are visual reminders of a commercial, idealized feminine image that our real and diverse female bodies can't possibly fit. Without these visual references, each individual woman's body demands to be accepted on its own terms. We stop being comparatives. We begin to be unique.
Justice
Law and justice are not always the same. When they aren't, destroying the law may be the first step toward changing it.
Parents and Parenting
Most American children suffer too much mother and too little father.
Power
Power can be taken, but not given. The process of the taking is empowerment in itself.
Value
We can tell our values by looking at our checkbook stubs.
