Sounds like an interesting blogging challenge too.<br /><br />As for the waves of sexual violence against women...there are many things about our world that depress me but this is one of the subjects that really pains me. Every time I read of an attack (in a home, in a street, repeated attacks in war zones) I just feel...gutted (in the very real sense of the word). And I read about them so often. So often.Rachel Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803852725693518924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3406446365589143789.post-85765356569797332042009-12-07T15:30:25.681+00:002009-12-07T15:30:25.681+00:00This is good to read, well done you for sitting do...This is good to read, well done you for sitting down to answer the questions, as you imply, because no one's asked you the questions for a long time, doesn't mean they don't need an answer.<br /><br />I look forward to the reviews too.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3406446365589143789.post-64628535129039519662009-12-06T22:15:33.075+00:002009-12-06T22:15:33.075+00:00Oh, that's the best, most succinct statement I...Oh, that's the best, most succinct statement I've ever seen of the relationship between feminism and buddhist practice: <em>the right to be myself, so that, as a buddhist, I can seek freedom by ceasing to fixate so rigidly on that self</em>. Some people think they can skip part A and go right to part B, but I don't think so. As Trungpa Rinpoche reportedly said, in a slightly different context, "first of all you have to have a self to lose." Having nowhere to locate yourself, no room of your own, is a parody of the selflessness we're looking for, not a step in its direction.Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523194846272870013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3406446365589143789.post-87182974755128011752009-12-06T16:04:48.641+00:002009-12-06T16:04:48.641+00:00Powerful affirmations here, Jean!Powerful affirmations here, Jean!marja-leenahttp://www.marja-leena-rathje.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3406446365589143789.post-49355780802615540252009-12-06T09:38:51.716+00:002009-12-06T09:38:51.716+00:00I love your answers to this What you say about the...I love your answers to this What you say about the weight of history is so true and apt.litlovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952927245186474480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3406446365589143789.post-67261493835711272582009-12-06T01:20:24.333+00:002009-12-06T01:20:24.333+00:00I embrace and celebrate your participation in this...I embrace and celebrate your participation in this challenge.
