"A commonly accepted assumption in a patriarchal culture is that love can be present in a situation where one group or individual dominates another. Many people believe men can dominate women and children yet still be loving."

Hello Episcodon! So excited to have a space where we can continue conversations begun at the It’s All About Love Festival in Baltimore! I was one of the volunteers (you probably handed me a blue ticket for lunch at the Convention Center). I’m looking forward to getting to know all of you better. #episcopal #itsallaboutlove #allaboutlove

"Earlier in my life I read books about love and never thought about the gender of the writer. Eager to understand what we mean when we speak of love, I did not really consider the extent to which gender shaped a writer's perspective. It was only when I began to think seriously about the subject of love and to write about it that I pondered whether women do this differently from men."

Similar to my realization about how race affects people's writing.

I found this sad copy of #AllAboutLove by #BellHooks in a local #LittleFreeLibrary . It's been on my TBR for a while, so I've collected this one so it will be read one last time before being put to rest. But these pages are heartbreaking.
