    “The word ‘sin’ is derived from the Indo-European root ‘es-,’ meaning ‘to be.’ When I discovered this etymology, I intuitively understood that for a [person] trapped in patriarchy, which is the religion of the entire planet, ‘to be’ in the fullest sense is ‘to sin'.”
    ― Mary Daly



    Not 'to be' in the infinitive, but 'it is' in the third person. Nor 'it is' in the sense of 'it exists.' Rather, the etymology is infused with the meaning 'it is (so),' as the answer to an accusation. Hence, guilt, and so on.

    If I were dead, could I do this?

    @PG. Now you want flowers? Not that this would prove anything except I know a good transatlantic florist.
    What do you want, an affidavit from some of my female friends that I am not a fiend or a sex predator, and that I am good to animals ( I am) and respect the female gender ( which I also do) ?
    Can you prove you are a nice female?

    That's sweet UT, tiger lilies are my favorite. This notion of power and dominance amongst males has to be addressed though. It's insidious. If I'm thinking of solutions to try to save the world from more suffering, I believe I'm more than a nice female. It's a shame that some are so blindly brainwashed to believe that the patriarchy or sexism has served them. With that thinking, there will be a constant battle. True equality...I mean in action rather than word, is the only vision towards peace.

    I feel good.
    It's funny because it took me quite a long time to adapt to living in France. And since I came back to classes in December, I've felt very laid-back and like I have more time to do things. I haven't even been as stressed as I usually am... it's so weird!
