Zitat des Tages von Mary Daly:
I'm trying to get to a deep future, but in order to get to a deep future, I had to think about the deep past.
Within a culture possessed by the myth of feminine evil, the naming, describing, and theorizing about good and evil has constituted a maze/haze of deception. The journey of women becoming is breaking through this maze - springing into free space, which is an a-mazing process.
Patriarchy appears to be everywhere. Even outer space and the future have been colonized. As a rule, even the more imaginative science-fiction writers (allegedly the most foretelling futurists) cannot/will not create a space and time in which women get far beyond the role of space stewardess.
It is the creative potential itself in human beings that is the image of God.
'God's plan' is often a front for men's plans and a cover for inadequacy, ignorance, and evil.
Radical feminism is still threatening.
Women have had the power of naming stolen from us.
Courage to be is the key to revelatory power of the feminist revolution.
Almost everything has been stolen from us by the patriarchy. Our creativity has been stolen, our creative energies, our religion. I want it back.
Work is a substitute religious experience for many workaholics.
I saw women that were repressed. When they're in classes with young men, they shut up all the time. They're laughed at if they have unusual ideas. They have to be sexy; then, they can't really think.
I was honestly a Catholic.
I'm a complete deviant. All creative work breaks new ground.
For a radical feminist to try to change the church was like a black person trying to reform the Ku Klux Klan.
Despite erasure by the media and other patriarchal institutions, there was, by 1975, a substantial body of feminist writings as well as artwork, music, films, and organization of all kinds.
