A Love Story

"The Oodle Language"
LoveSpeak Between Girl and Dog _____________________________

"I don't remember driving home last night. I don't remember being pulled over by the police and going to jail. I don't remember assaulting 2 officers while dressed in my silk business suit on a major thoroughfare, and mostly, I do not remember deciding to kill myself with a 1/2 gallon of vodka and 90 Valium. What I do remember, as I came to from the haze of a drunken blackout, is looking over at Rossi, and thinking about who would take care of her, who would love her if I died."

A Feminist Contribution

"He"
Language, God and Patriarchy

"Every time we refer to God as He, we further condition ourselves to think that He is superior"
_____________________________

We live in a society that tells us God is He, God has a penis. This patriarchal influence affects women and men in every aspect of our lives. Most women in this country have taken their Father's or Husband's name, this patriarchal influence affects women and men in every aspect of our lives.

Do these patriarchal influences affect your life and in what way?

This is the question I have asked the people you will meet in this book. I have discussed, argued, laughed, cried and sought solution with women and men of all colors, ages, religious backgrounds, political affiliations, sexual preferences, academic accomplishments, and financial status’.
