"Knowingness, the power to make a difference in our own lived reality", what a great statement, and how much do women all over the world want to do this, but can't.

Whoa! From where are you taking this quote?? Good idea to always identify citations. We're going to be reading from dozens of books this Fall, and it helps if we can each identify the source. Remember, the source, or the context, is interdependent with the meaning of the words themselves. Hitler could say that and mean one thing. Jonathan Lear says it and means quite another.

In the theoretical approach I take in our classes, I rely on the definition Jonathan Lear means Dictation still from cultural climates wherever we are, still hold a belt to us. When I read what Henry and Milovanovic say, I translate it as "we are(women) all working in sex trade to some extent". Who do we blame our complexity on? We as women are so complex--and yet if given our speech unto ourselves without having to fight our way out of something --we are as simple as the moon--You define the moon--what is God? Who is God? Women are still the tools of man to manipulate, until we are strong enough as a whole, a Greater Power, to control our own destinys. Why do we wait, why are we afraid, why is this great earth which is truly more in our control, giving birth, etc. so scarey to women? Mother Earth did not get Her name being intimated, She is to be respected. There is no man on earth, that should ever cross her path. Then why, do the rest of us take such a back seat?
