Peter Kreeft, professor of philosophy at Boston College, from his book "For Heaven's Sake"

"The phrase, 'man's conquest of nature' is a sexually chauvinistic term not because all views of the traditional generic man is but because we have a civilization that is in the midst of what Karl Stern called the flight from woman. We extol action over contemplation, doing over being, analysis over intuition, problems over mysteries, success over contentment, conquering over nurturing, the quick fix over life long commitment, the prostitute over the mother."
