I read Ursula K. Le Guin's "What Women Know" before bed and now I can't sleep
WE'VE LIVED LONG ENOUGH IN THE DARK
"Let's talk, all of us, around the hearth, in the living room of our shared house. We have a lot to tell each other, a lot to learn."
"But I didn't and still don't like making a cult of women's knowledge, preening ourselves knowing things men don't know, women's deep irrational wisdom, women's instinctive knowledge of Nature, and so on. All that all too often merely reinforces the masculinist idea of women as primitive and inferior—women's 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?"
