The revolutionary woman knows the world she seeks to overthrow is precisely one in which love between equal human beings is well nigh impossible. We are still part of the ironical working-out of this, our own cruel contradiction. One of the most compelling facts which can unite women and make us act is the overwhelming indignity or bitter hurt of being regarded as simply __he other_, __n object_, __ommodity_, __hing_. We act directly from a consciousness of the impossibility of loving or being loved without distortion. But we must still demand now the preconditions of what is impossible at the moment. It is a most disturbing dialectic, our praxis of pain.
We live in a world of self-deprecation, and while it__ healthy to make fun of ourselves from time to time, it bothers me when I see women of all ages belittling their accomplishments because they don__ want to appear boastful or overconfident. You don__ see a lot of guys out there underplaying their strengths or making light of what they__e good at, so why should women? While I get that there__ a fine line between owning your accomplishments and reciting every line of your résumé, there is absolutely no shame in being proud of what you__e managed to achieve! Own it!
