Fantasy is a product of thought, Imagination of sensibility. If the thinking, discursive mind turns to speculation, the result isFantasy; if, however, the sensitive, intuitive mind turns to speculation, the result is Imagination.

Visionary feminism is a wise and loving politics. It is rooted in the love of male and female being, refusing to privilege one over the other.

Males cannot love themselves in patriarchal culture if their very self-definition relies on submission to patriarchal rules.

A genuine feminist politics always brings us from bondage to freedom, from lovelessness to loving. — Bell Hooks
