We Are Women. We Are

I Don't Believe In Monogamy, Possessing People, The Rightness Or Inevitability Of Jealousy.

They Weren't Crazy. They Were Tired Of Being Locked Up. Even I Could See That.

In Sex One Wants Or Does Not Want. And The Grief, The Sorrow Of Life Is That One Cannot Make Or Coerce Or Persuade The Wanting, Cannot Command It, Cannot Request It By Mail Order Or Finagle It Through Bureaucratic Channels.

The Enormous Social Change Involved In A Sexual Revolution Is Basically A Matter Of Altered Consciousness, The Exposure And Elimination Of Social And Psychological Realities Underlying Political And Cultural Structures. We Are Speaking, Then, Of A Cultural Revolution, Which, While It Must Necessarily Involve The Political And Economic Reorganization Traditionally Implied By The Term Revolution, Must Go Far Beyond This As Well.

A Revolution Is Not The Overturning Of A Cart, A Reshuffling In The Cards Of State. It Is A Process, A Swelling, A New Growth In The Race. If It Is Real, Not Simply A Trauma, It Is Another Ring In The Tree Of History, Layer Upon Layer Of Invisible Tissue Composing The Evidence Of A Circle.
