Visionary feminism is a wise and loving politic. It is rooted in the love of male and female beings, refusing privilege one over the other. The soul of feminist politics is the commitment to ending patriarchal domination of women and men, girls and boys. Love cannot exist in any relationship that is based on domination and coercion A genuine feminist always brings us from bondage to freedom, from lovelessness to loving. Bell Hooks (author, feminist, activist)

It would multiply not judgements but signs of existence; it would summon them, drag them from their sleep..." More

Jacques Lacan drew upon the ideas of Freud's psychoanalysis in his work on linguistics and literature. Freud's influence can also be found in the work of feminist sociologists, both as an object of ridicule and inspiration. More
