on to the author's preface, I find myself surprised--surprised, that is, at

It is this excerpt that ticked me off: </span></div>

few years before I had discovered the harm done by the religiosity that was in
the air I breathed during my childhood and early youth…I decided to tell their
stories (those who had been harmed) and also to deal with my own conversion to
the real world.”</span></div>

this type of religiosity. I am familiar with the harm done by it, as I
lived it in my Roman Catholic birth family. But, I am skeptical of
Simone’s assertion that escape from hyperreligiosity necessitates abandonment
of religion all together. To describe her journey as a conversion to the
“real world” implies that the world of religion/spirituality is unreal.
To me, this denies an important part of the reality of the human
condition. I understand it, though. The world of hyperreligiosity,
once recognized, makes one want to run away screaming. But, it just may
be the screaming of Jesus in the Temple<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5216316522723167434#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn2;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><sup><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><sup><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[2]</span></sup></span></span></span></sup></span></a>
when He lost it over the hyperreligiosity of His time. Once He made it
clear that commercializing the cultus of the time was not true religion, He did
go ahead and do a lot of teaching on what true religion was.</span></div>

snit over Simone’s throwing the baby out with the bath water, let’s carry on
getting to know her five young women.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The remainder of the preface is spent in saying a bit about each of
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ll delay commentary on Simone’s
commentary until after we’ve read the stories.</span></div>

I introduce Marcelle to you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However
annoyed I might’ve gotten over Simone’s apparent dismissal of religion in the
course of dismissing <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">bad </i>religion, I
did savor reading how she’d boldly examined that religion and told the truth
about it in these stories.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a
rootlet of feminism—to see a problem, describe it truthfully to the world, then
act upon that truth until the world can no longer pretend that it’s not true.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In other words, be the change you want to see
in the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you’re a writer, write
about it.</span></div>

practice of referring to authors or philosophers or scientists by their last

avec les dommages causés par elle, comme je l'ai vécu dans ma famille de
naissance catholique romaine. Mais, je suis sceptique quant à l'affirmation de
Simone, qui échapperont à partir hyperreligiosité rend nécessaire l'abandon de
la religion tous ensemble. Pour décrire son voyage comme une conversion au
«monde réel» implique que le monde de la religion / spiritualité est irréel.
Pour moi, cela nie une partie importante de la réalité de la condition humaine.
Je comprends bien, si. Le monde de hyperreligiosité, une fois reconnue, donne
envie de fuir en hurlant. Mais, il pourrait bien être les cris de Jésus dans le
Temple [2] quand il a perdu au cours de la hyperreligiosité de son temps. Une
fois, il a clairement indiqué que la commercialisation du culte de l'époque
était pas la vraie religion, il n'a aller de l'avant et de faire beaucoup de
l'enseignement sur ce qui était la vraie religion.</span></div>

<br />
I have claimed to be a feminist for a long time. My mother, whether
she would have ever used the word "feminist," taught me the raw
material for it when she urged me not to be afraid of being smarter than the
boys in the class. She showed me how to be independent by simply taking
charge of the life of our family. My father was a wonderful artist and
armchair philosopher, but everyday practicalities were left entirely up to my
mother.<br />
Then, in Catholic girls' high school, the incongruity of being unafraid of
being smarter than the boys and the absolute prohibition of girls becoming
priests slapped me in the face. Living the truth of my own sexuality
would come much later in the game, but the seeds were there in my budding
feminism. Many years later, through a combination of fortuitous coincidences
and opportunities seized, I became an assistant administrator on a Facebook
page called Global Feminist Perspectives.<br />
Mind you, I've got the basic core of feminism--equality for women in all
those places and circumstances where unfair disparity exists simply due to
being a woman. I have a vague notion of some key figures in that struggle, but
detailed knowledge of the history of feminism? I have a lot of work to
do. Where to begin?<br />
Because of my concentration in high school and college in the French language,
I was aware of Simone de Beauvoir and even read several excerpts of her work <i>en
français</i>. Only recently have I decided to make a more focused study
of her work and share it here on Global Feminist Perspectives.<br />
As I began looking online for beginning information about deBeauvoir, of
course her signature work <i>The Second Sex</i> came up, but I also read of
this early work of fiction, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">When Things
Of the Spirit Come First, </i>subtitled <i>Five Early Tales</i>. The
book's dust jacket tells me the stories contained therein are
semi-autobiographical. Here is a chance to read fiction and climb inside
the mind and spirit of one of our Founding Mothers. As I read the
stories, I plan to reflect on how each of the characters illustrates a key
aspect of feminism either generally or for me, personally.<br />
Full disclosure: I am a white (advanced) middle-aged lesbian woman, mother
of three grown children from a heterosexual marriage. From articles and
encyclopedia entries I have read, deBeauvoir belonged in these categories, too,
except for the children. There is some question as to whether she and her
longtime partner, Jean-Paul Sartre, engaged in questionable relationships with
some of her students. So, one of our heroes is less than perfect.
It doesn't erase the spark she provided to the revolution.<br />
So, onward, let's get on with getting to know Simone deBeauvoir...<br />
<br />
Here's a NYT article that will give you the basics, or at least a starting
place. Allons-y! <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/30/books/excerpt-introduction-second-sex.html?_r=1">http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/30/books/excerpt-introduction-second-sex.html?_r=1</a><br />

<br />
Je l'ai prétendu être une féministe pendant une longue période. Ma mère, si
elle aurait jamais utilisé le mot «féministe», m'a enseigné la matière première
pour elle quand elle m'a exhorté à ne pas avoir peur d'être plus intelligents
que les garçons de la classe. Elle m'a montré comment être indépendant en
prenant simplement responsable de la vie de notre famille. Mon père était un
merveilleux artiste et philosophe fauteuil, mais des réalités quotidiennes ont
été laissés entièrement à ma mère.<br />
<br />
Puis, à l'école secondaire catholique pour filles de, l'incongruité de ne pas
avoir peur d'être plus intelligents que les garçons et l'interdiction absolue
de filles devenir prêtres m'a giflé au visage. Vivre la vérité de ma propre
sexualité viendrait beaucoup plus tard dans le jeu, mais les graines étaient là
dans mon féminisme naissant. Plusieurs années plus tard, par une combinaison de
coïncidences fortuites et les opportunités saisies, je suis devenu un
administrateur adjoint sur une page Facebook appelée perspectives féministes mondiaux.<br />
<br />
J’ai le noyau de base du féminisme - l'égalité des femmes dans tous ces lieux
et des circonstances où la disparité injuste existe tout simplement en raison
d'être une femme. Je dois une vague notion de quelques chiffres clés dans cette
lutte, mais une connaissance détaillée de l'histoire du féminisme? Je dois
beaucoup de travail à faire. Par où commencer?<br />
<br />
En raison de ma concentration à l'école secondaire et au collège dans la langue
française, je me rendais compte de Simone de Beauvoir et même lu quelques
extraits de son travail en français. Ai Seulement récemment, je décidé de faire
une étude plus ciblée de son travail et de le partager ici perspectives
féministes mondiaux.<br />
<br />
Comme je l'ai commencé à chercher en ligne pour commencer informations sur
deBeauvoir, bien sûr travail sa signature Le Deuxième Sexe est venu, mais j’ai
aussi lu de ce travail au début de la fiction, Quand les choses de l'esprit au
premier plan, sous-titré cinq premiers contes. La jaquette du livre me raconte
les histoires qui y sont contenues sont semi-autobiographique. Voici une chance
de lire la fiction et grimper à l'intérieur de l'intelligence et l'esprit de
l'un de nos mères fondatrices. Comme je l'ai lu les histoires, je prévois de
réfléchir sur la façon dont chacun des personnages illustre un aspect clé du
féminisme en général ou pour moi, personnellement.<br />
<br />
La divulgation complète: Je suis un blanc (avancé) femme lesbienne d'âge moyen,
mère de trois enfants adultes d'un mariage hétérosexuel. De articles et les
entrées de l'encyclopédie je ai lu, deBeauvoir appartenait dans ces catégories,
aussi, sauf pour les enfants. Il est question de savoir si elle et son
partenaire de longue date, Jean-Paul Sartre, engagés dans des relations
douteuses avec certains de ses élèves. Ainsi, l'un de nos héros est moins que
parfaite. Il ne fait pas disparaître l'étincelle elle a fourni à la révolution.<br />
<br />
Donc, avant, nous allons passer à apprendre à connaître Simone deBeauvoir ...<br />
<br />
<br />
Voici un article du NYT qui vous donnera les bases, ou au moins un point de
départ. Allons-y!

<span style="color: #b6d7a8;"><span style="font-size: small;">'American evangelicals are sending millions of dollars in donations
to Africa to spread their message by funding Ugandan pastors and
sponsoring missionaries, many of who do good work feeding the hungry and
providing shelter to orphans,' Rev. Kapya Kaoma explained in the
mini-documentary, which was <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/23/opinion/gospel-of-intolerance.html?smid=tw-share&_r=0" target="_blank">published online Tuesday by the New York Times</a>.
“But some of that money just goes to feed a dangerous ideology that
teaches that gays, lesbians, transgender, and bisexual people do not
have a place in God’s kingdom and are a threat to society.”</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #b6d7a8;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #b6d7a8;"><span style="font-size: small;">Evangelicals from the United States have a strong influence in the
deeply religious country, where antigay sentiments are mainstream. A
number of Ugandans faced harassment and threats in 2010 after a
newspaper published of list of alleged homosexuals. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #b6d7a8;"><br /></span>

Attitude toward power. Magic = power over / Union with God = power to. It's still power, but power that recognizes that power comes from God, or it's doomed. Once again, God is God, and I'm not. That is not to say I cannot wield great power, e.g., <span style="color:#ffff66;">"do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13),"</span> but it must always be wielded with recognition of its source. No amount of <span style="color:#66ff99;">"severe schools"</span> or rigid self-discipline or magical rituals can equal the power of acting with recognition of Whose is the "power, the glory, and the kingdom." Our faith tradition recognizes the focus value of ritual actions, words of power, sacred numbers, but it is not things or actions that matter, but the Who that they point to.</b></span><br /><br /><span style="color:#cc66cc;"><b>I made a further note about developing the notion that the Magi were, in a sense, returning the gifts that were stolen by Adam and Eve.

God is God, and I'm not, but I claim faith in a God Who knows firsthand what it is like to be what I am. The Magi hardly knew what they sought except that what they found was so much more than what they had sought, but exactly what they would have sought, had they known what they knew once they found it.
