Eve Ensler: Girl power can save the world
By Men's Activism News | Source | February 2, 2010
Article here. Excerpt:
"The future is "girl." Imagine girl is a cell that each of us -- boys and girls -- are born with. Imagine this girl cell is central to the evolution of our species and an assurance of the continuation of the human race.
Now imagine that a few powerful people, invested in owning this world, understood that the oppression of this cell was key to retaining their power, so they reinterpreted this cell, undermining its value and making us believe that it is weak. They initiated a process to crush, eradicate, annihilate, humiliate, belittle, censor, reduce and kill off the girl cell.
This was called patriarchy.
Imagine that girl is the part of each of us that feels compassion, empathy, passion, intensity, association, relationship, emotion, play, resistance, vulnerability, intuitive intelligence, vision.
Imagine that compassion informs wisdom. That vulnerability is our greatest strength. That emotions have inherent logic and lead to radical saving action."

Blithering claptrap meant to achieve god knows what. One thing is clear though, Ensler is labeling all these things female, so even when a man shows compassion etc its not really a man doing it, its his inner Girl, therefore it is the female sex that deserves the credit. When a man kills, well, we all know who's to blame, and it aint his inner woman!
