Constructs

Famous quotes containing the word constructs:

    To me the “female principle” is, or at least historically has been, basically anarchic. It values order without constraint, rule by custom not by force. It has been the male who enforces order, who constructs power structures, who makes, enforces, and breaks laws.
    Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)

    In some extremely important ways, people are what you expect them to be, or at least they behave as you expect them to behave.
    Naomi Weisstein, U.S. psychologist, feminist, and author. Psychology Constructs the Female (1969)

    Psychologists have set about describing the true nature of women with a certainty and a sense of their own infallibility rarely found in the secular world.
