Without males as allies in struggle, feminist movement will not progress. As it is we have to do so much work to correct the assumption deeply embedded in the cultural psyche that feminism is anti-male. Feminism is anti-sexism.
Suehiro Tetchō published Setchūbai (Plum Blossoms in the Snow), a work often praised as the finest of the Meiji-period political novels. It is set in 2040, the 173rd year of the reign of Emperor Meiji, and opens with the sounds of cannons and bugles blowing to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the proclamation of the constitution. The accompanying illustrations depict the Tōkyō of the future. It is a city of grim rows of brick buildings from which innumerable tall chimneys emit black smoke.
A reader today may shudder at the thought of a city so devoid of amenities and so tainted by industrial pollution, but Tetchō undoubtedly believed that his readers would be delighted by a future rich with the progress represented by chimneys belching smoke; he seems to have thought that the more T ō ky ō resembled London, the greatest of the Western cities, the happier the Japanese would be.

KİTABIN ÖZETİ
Nazilerin can düşmanı Komünist Enternasyonal’in Almanca yayınları da Atatürk’e ve Türk Kurtuluş Savaşı’na övgülerle doluydu (33).
En Büyük Kanıt: Nazilerin programı 24 Şubat 1920 yılında açıklanmıştır (54). Henüz TBMM yok, CHP yok, Mustafa Kemal’in herhangi bir programı yok ama NAZİ programı var. Bu programda da ırkçılık var.
Versay, Sevr’den Önce (Bizi örnek almadan da Versaya karşı çıkıyorlar): Avustralyalı Tarih Profesörü Cristopher Clark kitabın arka kapak yazısında, Versay hükümlerine karşı çıkan Almanların, Sevr’e karşı çıkan Ankara Hükümeti’ni örnek aldıklarını ileri sürüyor. Oysa ikinci maddesi Versay’a karşı olup bu antlaşmanın feshini isteyen Nazi partisi programı, ortada Sevr anlaşması yokken, 10 Ağustos 1920 tarihli Sevr antlaşmasından altı ay önce 24 Şubat 1920’de yayınlanmıştır (61).
Alfred Rosenberg: Bu adamın 1934-1944 yılları arasını kapsayan günlükleri, şimdi Washington’daki Yahudi Soykırımı Müzesi’ndedir ve araştırmacılara açıktır (65).
Alfred Rosenberg günlüklerinde Mussolini 21 kez geçiyor. Atatürk bir kez dahi geçmiyor. Türk Devrimi hiç geçmiyor. Türk kurtuluş savaşı’nın sözü edilmiyor (67).
Göbbels
Stefan İhrig, Göbbels’in günlüğünden bu sözleri eksik ve yanlış aktarıyor. Doğrusu şöyle: Kemal Atatürk öldü. Büyük bir adam gitti. Olasılıkla kendi ahlaksızlığı, hovardalığı, çapkınlığıyla. Ama bu ölümün bize zarar vermediğini düşünüyorum. Fakat Türkiye şu anda lidersiz (70).

Self-actualization is not a sudden happening or even the permanent result of long effort. The eleventh-century Tibetan Buddhist poet-saint Milarepa suggested: “Do not expect full realization; simply practice every day of your life.” A healthy person is not perfect but perfectible, not a done deal but a work in progress. Staying healthy takes discipline, work, and patience, which is why our life is a journey and perforce a heroic one.

I know my worth and recognize my value.
My feelings are valid and don't require explanation or justification.
I am a perfectly imperfect work in progress.
I matter.
I belong.
I am enough - even on my wobbly days.

Our collective education has taught us that the search for truth is a disinterested virtue when in fact it is a self-interested rationalization. The search for truth, proclaimed as the corner stone of progress, and therefore of well-being, has been at the very least consonant with the maintenance of a hierarchical, unequal social structure in a number of specific respects. The processes involved in the expansion of the capitalist world- economy—the peripheralization of economic structures, the creation of weak state structures participating in and con strained by an interstate system—involved a number of pres sures at the level of culture: Christian proselytization; the im position of European language; instruction in specific techno logies and mores; changes in the legal codes. Many of these changes were made manu militari. Others were achieved by the persuasion of ‘educators’, whose authority was ultimately backed by military force. That is that complex of processes we sometimes label ‘westernization1, or even more arrogantly ‘modernization’, and which was legitimated by the desirabili ty of sharing both the fruits of and faith in the ideology of uni versalism. There were two main motives behind these enforced cultural changes. One was economic efficiency. If given per sons were expected to perform in given ways in the economic arenas, it was efficient both to teach them the requisite cultural norms and to eradicate competing cultural norms. The second was political security. It was believed that if the so-called elites of peripheral areas were ‘westernized’, they would be separated from their ‘masses’, and hence less likely to revolt—certainly less able to organize a following for revolts. This turned out to be a monumental miscalculation, but it was plausible and
