Solitude is not only a state of mind essential to the development of an individual’s consciousness & conscience, but also a practice that prepares one for participation in social & political life.
Before we can keep company with others, we must learn to keep company with ourselves.

Your periodic reminder that people blithely saying things like 'Shop around!' to minimise price rises almost always relies on women spending large amounts of unpaid time having to go to 6 different places just for groceries. I could list others - so many money-savers are just 'women's free time'

You cannot claim not to have an opinion.
You cannot say you are unbiased; that is most dangerous because those who refuse to have an opinion, who sit on the fence, are the ones who allow injustice thrive.
