The National Book Critics Circle Award–winning author delivers a collection of essays that serve as the perfect “antidote to mansplaining” (The Stranger). In her comic, scathing essay “Men Explain Things to Me,” Rebecca Solnit took on what often goes wrong in conversations between men and women. She wrote about men who wrongly assume they know things and wrongly assume women don’t, about why this arises, and how this aspect of the gender wars works, airing some of her own hilariously awful encounters. She ends on a serious note— because the ultimate problem is the silencing of women who have something to say, including those saying things like, “He’s trying to kill me!” This book features that now-classic essay with six perfect complements, including an examination of the great feminist writer Virginia Woolf’s embrace of mystery, of not knowing, of doubt and ambiguity, a highly original inquiry into marriage equality, and a terrifying survey of the scope of contemporary violence against women. “In this series of personal but unsentimental essays, Solnit gives succinct shorthand to a familiar female experience that before had gone unarticulated, perhaps even unrecognized.” —The New York Times “Essential feminist reading.” —The New Republic “This slim book hums with power and wit.” —Boston Globe “Solnit tackles big themes of gender and power in these accessible essays. Honest and full of wit, this is an integral read that furthers the conversation on feminism and contemporary society.” —San Francisco Chronicle “Essential.” —Marketplace “Feminist, frequently funny, unflinchingly honest and often scathing in its conclusions.” —Salon

In all ages, faith has provided a backbone and common entity connection for the masses. Faith need not tear people apart because it is a personal journey. Where three such travelers meet in good faith, Jesus is there. Societal norms have shifted away from the Bible and active faith, the type that actually works. It is more important than ever to bless our children and give them a charge to carry out their faith in life. Our families depend upon the government to raise our children in hope, and that is not being done. There is a deliberate effort to undermine faith in the USA for the purpose of weakening those in opposition to worldly plans. Simply understanding the Hippocratic Oath as to Apollyon the devil can be a game changer. Nearly every law passed these days is linked to a medical community that harms all day long and gives it oath to the devil. Rule of law is imposed when the expected outcome is in opposition to the Constitution. We must be wise as wolves to navigate it and yet remember the free-flowing faith that Jesus wants us to own all our days so we can commune with Him daily and in times of need. Our nation will fall to tyranny from within if we do not charge our children with keeping this a country under God. Every walk of life is affected. How would the LBGTQ community view their Democrat rescuers if they learned they were made gay (and Democrat) after it was found in a lab that a certain vitamin deficiency made rats homosexual, and the science was applied to school lunch menus and after school snacks? Would they still be useful digits suffering Stockholm Syndrome or would they rise against this maltreatment with anger at the loss of natural life and demand reparation and resignations? Fathers, mothers or grandparents if neither of the former are there, lay hands on the child and bless them, command them to do well by the Lord. Command them to live long and multiply and prosper and be a light for the world.
