More From Robin Morgan

There's nothing more threatening than a powerful woman, and there's nothing more threatening to the current order of things than women powerfully owning their own narrative. it's so threatening to people, to women as well, and it's threatening the order of things.
Powerful Order People
No one may threaten or commit violence ('aggress') against another man's person or property. violence may be employed only against the man who commits such violence; that is, only defensively against the aggressive violence of another. in short, no violence may be employed against a non-aggressor. here is the fundamental rule from which can be deduced the entire corpus of libertarian theory.
Men Libertarian Violence
We need more than individual value systems; we need a shared vision. a nation is held together by shared values, shared beliefs, shared attitudes. that is what enables a people to maintain a cohesive society despite the tensions of daily life. that is what enables them to rise above the conflicts that plague any society.

The struggle to end sexist oppression that focuses on destroying the cultural basis for such domination strengthens other liberation struggles. individuals who fight for the eradication of sexism without struggles to end racism or classism undermine their own efforts. individuals who fight for the eradication of racism or classism while supporting sexist oppression are helping to maintain the cultural basis of all forms of group oppression.

I have examined the death penalty under each of its two aspects: as a direct action, and as an indirect one. what does it come down to? nothing but something horrible and useless, nothing but a way of shedding blood that is called a crime when an individual commits it, but is sadly called "justice" when society brings it about. make no mistake, you lawmakers and judges, in the eyes of god as in those of conscience, what is a crime when individuals do it is no less an offense when society commits the deed.

The first thing, the very very first thing, "find out what your greatest characteristic is, your greatest undoing, your central characteristic of unconsciousness." each one's is different. somebody is sex-obsessed. in a country like india, where for centuries sex has been repressed, that has become almost a universal characteristic; everybody is obsessed with sex. somebody is obsessed with anger, and somebody else is obsessed with greed. you have to watch which is your basic obsession.
