Montessori may well have said this "Of the wisdom of Maria Montessori noticing that, “The hands are the instruments of man's intelligence.” but i'd appreciate thy adding (and women's) into the sentence, or making some remark that includes us. the word 'man' does not include us, no matter how much it's asserted that it does.
I feel the same frustration when i read thy heading 'Man's best friend'... of course i know it's a common saying.. but just because something is a common way of saying things,, it's arisen from a paradigm where Man and men are the measure of things... and that does diddly squat for my nervous system's sense of safety.. indeed, quite the reverse.. it does a great deal to bring a sense of unsafety and uninclusion, it brings epigenetic and aeons of patriarchy right here into my 'home' ...and if i'm reading this book then i'm going to want to be opening and allowing some vulnerability... so these things matter. A lot.
