Dignity & Identity.....

"The white world has built its dignity and built its sense of identity on the fact it wasn’t black, the way males in this country built their sense of superiority over the fact that they are not female." (M. Mead)

Fathers are biological necessities, but social accidents.

I'm not very certain that she has anything worthwhile to say about race or sex-roles in life when she is so blatantly and shamefully biased. :shrug: Like taking race advice from David Duke or Al Sharpton (same thing, different race). It's always worth hearing someone out, because (as Max Ehrman says) even the dull and ignorant have their stories. That doesn't mean they're good stories, or ones from which one should learn, but they're stories nonetheless.
