I have been with boys as well, watched as they have been ridiculed, censored and abused for their tenderness, their doubts, their grief, their need for comfort and protection. I have seen how the tyranny of masculinity has forced boys and then men to cut off their hearts and cast them into a brutal, lonely state of disassociation and isolation.

The state of girl, the condition of girl -- in the world and in us -- will determine if this species survives.
I believe unleashing the intensity of girl, the outrage of girl, the passion of girl, is the only way to chip away the thick sludge of denial, oppression and indifference that has led to our insane acceptance of a world spinning us toward our end.
What I have witnessed across this planet is the wild natural resiliency, fierceness, grace and nobility of girl.

we need so much to have BOTH gender characteristics.... I don't know why, throughout history, cultures ever got the idea that being female was weak and less desirable-- instead of embracing both types equally-- male characteristics and female characteristics and realize the value of them both-- TOGETHER-- hand in hand.....
yea, I know, I'm a dreamer........
