Oppression as a causal explanation is deficient and inadequate in almost every respect, since, among other things, it simply does not fit the data curve. "These oppression theories," says Chafetz, "are based on vaguely defined concepts often ill suited to operationalization, such as 'patriarchy,' 'female subordination,' and 'sexism.'

It has everything to do with life in the biosphere. — Ken Wilber

Lightly
Over me.
He takes one of my outstretched hands.
Draws it beneath my stomach.
