"goddess" "matriarchy" "female wisdom" girl your civic rights
âBut I didnât and still donât like making a cult of womenâs knowledge, preening ourselves on knowing things men donât know, womenâs deep irrational wisdom, womenâs instinctive knowledge of Nature, and so on. All that all too often merely reinforces the masculinist idea of women as primitive and inferior â womenâs knowledge as elementary, primitive, always down below at the dark roots, while men get to cultivate and own the flowers and crops that come up into the light. But why should women keep talking baby talk while men get to grow up? Why should women feel blindly while men get to think?â
â Ursula K. Le Guin
