• "Male dominance is perhaps the most pervasive and tenacious system of power in history. [I]t is metaphorically nearly perfect. Its point of view is the standard of point-of-viewlessness, its particularity the meaning of universality. Its force is exercised as consent, its authority as participation, its supremacy as the paradigm of order, its control as the definition of legitimacy (MacKinnon 1983:639)."
• Men, women and authoritarianism.

• "But best of all, she has authored a 'book' (actually a three-page PDF) on how to survive the hating that can sometimes accompany online life. She writes, "within a matter of hours, I was singled out in the video for my dancing and publicly humiliated for my lack of talent. Overnight, I was renamed 'That Girl in Pink' and became the target of many cruel comments." She responded with goodness and openness and humour. It's a great lesson, and her book is, I think, a great thing to share." - Stephen Downes
