Sexism, Racism, and the Image of Women in the Media The values that have been labeled "feminine" - love, compassion, cooperation, patience - are very badly needed in giving birth to and nurturing a new era of greater peace and justice in human society. It would be unfortunate if they were forsaken by women because they seem dysfunctional to competition in a "masculine" world. Now, more than ever, these are the values that need to be asserted by men and women in creating a new world order. --Patricia Mische |
