- Despite all the work women have done to get and maintain full legal control of our bodies, not to mention our
destinies, we still don’t seem to be fully in charge of a couple of small muscle groups in our faces
What Do Women Want? by Daniel Bergner
- Men tend to be aroused in “category specific” ways. For men, subjective ratings of arousal match their bodily
responses; men’s minds and genitals are in agreement. Women are a different story…
"The crime of capitalism is that it forces the vast majority of the population to remain preoccupied with basic concerns of nutrition, housing, health, and skill acquisition. It leaves little time for fostering the community and creativity that humans crave."
“Rootworks is a historical site that is a perfect exemplar of the feminist-lesbian dream. From the 1970s to today, the women’s back-to-the-land community in Oregon was, and is, a dynamic expression of the separatist dream. As part of that dream, women experimented with new ways to live and work together — and with all sorts of activities and rituals, from house-building projects and collective gardening to the sacred circle. Many of the women were aspiring artists of one kind or another — writers, painters, photographers — and they hoped to be able to combine life on the land with their creative work. All of this lesbian/feminist life and work is represented in Rootworks… The permanence of Rootworks and its status as a women-owned land trust in perpetuity makes it a perfect example of a historic site. I think a living museum would be an effective and dynamic way to preserve the lesbian land dream and the history of the lesbian community in Southern Oregon.” Linda Long
