nice sound bites of Steinem on “hierarchy” and “ask the turtle” @ around 33 min, etiquette @ 41: Episode 325 of Dinner Download
Everyone matters
“We have hierarchies of all kinds in this country…and I find in traveling that they begin to disappear…if you listen they don’t mean that much…expectations are wrong…”
Ask the turtle
“…a kind of life rule, always ask the turtle…people who are experiencing a problem are the ones who know the solution, and imposing it from way up above doesn’t usually work…”
