Indeed, girls can be so in need of social approval that they confuse harassment for acceptance--thinking that any attention is better than none. Since many girls as well as boys buy the idea that sexual aggression and exploitation is normal masculine behavior, it may not even occur to them to demand to be treated as equals.

Never before in history has such a sweeping fervor for freedom expressed itself in great mass movements which are driving down the bastions of empire. This wind of change blowing through Africa, as I have said before, is no ordinary wind. It is a raging hurricane against which the old order cannot stand [...] The great millions of Africa, and of Asia, have grown impatient of being hewers of wood and drawers of water, and are rebelling against the false belief that providence created some to be menials of others. Hence the twentieth century has become the century of colonial emancipation, the century of continuing revolution which must finally witness the total liberation of Africa from colonial rule and imperialist exploitation.

With our lives.

At times there's something so precise and mathematically chilling about nationalism.
Build a dam to take away water AWAY from 40 million people. Build a dam to pretend to BRING water to 40 million people. Who are these gods that govern us? Is there no limit to their powers?

وقتی ضعف و انکسار ملت خود را دیدم، دانستم که ما ناگزیریم با سلاح وقت مسلح شویم و آن آموختن تمام علوم امروزی بود، وگرنه ما را جزو ملل وحشی میشمردند و برما آقائی را روا می دیدند، و آموختن آن اگر بهزبان خارجی بود البته میسر نمیشد[...] پس بایستی آن علوم و فنون را ما ترجمه کنیم و در دسترس مکاتب بگذاریم و این میسر نمیشود جز بدینکه اول لغات خود را بدانیم و این کار نوشتن لغتنامهای شامل و کافل ِ تمام لغات را، لازم داشت. این بود که بهفکر تدوین لغتنامه افتادم.
