“Be an arrogant idiot is rule #5 of Mohr’s 10 Rules for Brilliant Women, a blog post that went viral last year, turning the writer and leadership coach into a minor internet celebrity (she has 3,538 followers on Twitter and her services are fully-booked).

“Hrdy’s gracefully written, expert account of human behavior focuses on the positive, and its most important contribution is to give cooperation its rightful place in child care. Through a lifetime of pathbreaking work, she has repeatedly undermined our complacent, solipsistic, masculine notions of what women were meant “by nature” to be. Here as elsewhere she urges caution and compassion toward women whose maternal role must be constantly rethought and readjusted to meet the demands of a changing world. Women have done this successfully for millions of years, and their success will not stop now. But neither Hrdy nor I nor anyone else can know whether the strong human tendency to help mothers care for children can produce the species-wide level of cooperation that we now need to survive.”

“It was a proposal to a seemingly ridiculous dream, a goal, an epic run from the UP Diliman Oblation all the way up to the UP Baguio Oblation.”
“Contingency programs against disasters and calamities must incorporate measures to protect women, especially those with reproductive health risks, and children, a professor from the University of the Philippines-Diliman said.”
“Basically, the law requires the State (or the government) to take the lead in removing all forms of discrimination against women by, among others, reviewing and amending and, if necessary, enacting new laws, rules and regulations that will make gender equality a reality rather than a buzz word.”
“Before she was chosen as one of the five laureates for the 2010 L’Oréal-Unesco For Women in Science Awards, many would have described Cruz as a typical working woman.
