The only truth I can understand or express is, logically defined, a lie. Psychologically defined, a symbol. Aesthetically defined, a metaphor. (Ursula K. Le Guin)

feminisms
From a questionnaire of the French feminist movement Les Petites Marguerites (active in the 70s):
Question: “Who is best suited to decide the number of children you have?"
(a) The pope, who doesn’t have any;
(b) the president, who’s having a hard enough time with his own;
(c) the doctor, who values the life of your fetus more than your own life;
(d) your husband, who plays with them for a few minutes each day when he returns from work;
(e) you, who carry, bear, and raise them.”
