Disempowerment Quotes

• Women must understand that simply attacking or hating men is just another form of disempowerment. A woman has to realize that when she makes a man crawl it doesn't give her power.

• All human beings have a right, and duty, to be joyful. Anything that thwarts this spiritual human right goes against the very purpose of human being. Spirituality mandates us to wage a relentless war to eradicate these forces of oppression and disempowerment.

• One of our people in the Native community said the difference between white people and Indians is that Indian people know they are oppressed but don’t feel powerless. White people don’t feel oppressed, but feel powerless. Deconstruct that disempowerment. Part of the mythology that they’ve been teaching you is that you have no power. Power is not brute force and money; power is in your spirit. Power is in your soul. It is what your ancestors, your old people gave you. Power is in the earth; it is in your relationship to the earth.

• In our course we teach that "no thought lives in your head rent-free." Each thought you have will either be an investment or a cost. It will either move you toward happiness and success or away from it. It will either empower you or disempower you. That's why it is imperative you choose your thoughts and beliefs wisely.

• Un hombre casado es responsable de todo, pase lo que pase. Las mujeres, gracias a que han estado oprimidas todos estos años, son inocentes, libres como pájaros, y toda la porquería que hacen es el resultado del síndrome premenstrual o del estrés postmenstrual o de la menopausia o de la falta de poder emocional de sus padres o de las bajas expectativas de sus profesores o del acoso sexual latente y tácito en el lugar de trabajo, o de alguna otra excusa aireada. El hombre es el único responsable de que cada día de matrimonio no sea maravilloso y significativo.

• La discriminación y las múltiples privaciones de los derechos humanos también suelen formar parte del problema, condenando a poblaciones enteras a la pobreza... Es sin duda indignante que más de medio millón de mujeres mueran anualmente por complicaciones relacionadas con el embarazo y el parto. Se trata de casi la mitad del número anual de víctimas mortales en todo el mundo, y podría decirse que es un reflejo directo de la falta de poder de las mujeres en la vida social, económica y política.
