More From Anna Quindlen

We hurt people by being too busy. too busy to notice their needs. too busy to drop that note of comfort or encouragement or assurance of love. too busy to listen when someone needs to talk. too busy to care.
Christian Encouragement Hurt
I had a real come-to-jesus a couple of years ago when i started to see the direct line between feminism and everything else - feminism and climate change, feminism and poverty, feminism and hunger - and it was almost like i was born again and started walking down the street and was like, "oh, my god, there are women everywhere! they're just everywhere you look. there's women all over the place!"
Jesus Couple Real
I get very frustrated when i hear women saying, "oh, feminism is passé," because i think feminism means empowerment. men can be feminists, too! many men are feminists. we need feminism. it's not against men; it's about the empowerment of women. it's the respect of women - giving women equal rights, the same opportunities.
Strong Women Mean Opportunity
We fear the past, present and future. we fear the unknown, we fear not having enough, losing what we have, not having what we want. we fear what will become of us and those that we care for. we fear what others think of us and what they don't think of us. we fear, fear, fear and therefore we are controllable through the manipulation of all that we fear. the present war on terror is the war of fear. no fear, no control.
War Thinking Past
Fear is at the root of so many of the barriers that women face. fear of not being liked. fear of making the wrong choice. fear of drawing negative attention. fear of overreaching. fear of being judged. fear of failure. and the holy trinity of fear: the fear of being a bad mother/wife/daughter.

What we need is a tough new kind of feminism with no illusions. women do not change institutions simply by assimilating into them. we need a feminism that teaches a woman to say no - not just to the date rapist or overly insistent boyfriend but, when necessary, to the military or corporate hierarchy within which she finds herself. we need a kind of feminism that aims not just to assimilate into the institutions that men have created over the centuries, but to infiltrate and subvert them.

Our military is overextended. nine out of 10 active-duty army divisions are either in iraq, going to iraq or have come back from iraq. one way or the other, they're wrapped up in it.

We need to reduce military budgets; raise living standards; engender respect for learning; support science, scholarship, invention, and industry; promote free inquiry; reduce domestic coercion; involve the workers more in managerial decisions; and promote genuine respect and understanding derived from an acknowledgement of our common humanity and our common jeopardy.
