Can you understand? Someone, somewhere, can you understand me a little, love me a little? For all my despair, for all my ideals, for all that - I love life. But it is hard, and I have so much - so very much to learn.
Let me live, love and say it well in good sentences.
I desire the things that will destroy me in the end.
What horrifies me most is the idea of being useless: well-educated, brilliantly promising, and fading out into an indifferent middle age.
My spirituality has always been linked to my feminism. Feminism is about challenging unequal power structures.
In the same way Marxism robs workers of ambition, Feminism robs men and women of love.
The benefits of feminism have been unequally distributed, because the move toward gender equality and gender neutrality has been countered to a large extent by the increase in economic inequality.
When God made man she was practicing.
Women make up one half of society. Our society will remain backward and in chains unless its women are liberated, enlightened and educated.
I believe feminism is grounded in supporting the choices of women even if we wouldn’t make certain choices for ourselves.
In truth, feminism is flawed because it is a movement powered by people and people are inherently flawed.
So often feminism is built up as this thing where you have to be perfect. You have to be consistent and you can't ever deviate. That's just not realistic.
An indigenous feminism has been present in every culture in the world and in every period of history since the suppression of women began.
You have to take the basics of feminism and the kind of outline of it and do what you do with it. You have to make things work for your own life.
In the late '60s and '70s, when feminism was on the up sweep, there was an awareness of things that we're losing again.
Life in this society being, at best, an utter bore and no aspect of society being at all relevant to women, there remains to civic-minded, responsible, thrill-seeking females only to overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute complete automation, and destroy the male sex.
Feminism justified female victim power by convincing the world that we lived in a sexist, male-dominated, and patriarchal world.
The Government as Substitute Husband did for women what labor unions still have not accomplished for men. And men pay dues for labor unions; the taxpayer pays the dues for feminism. Feminism and government soon become taxpayer-supported women's unions.
There's nothing bad about feminism. We have to help each other, because there's a lot of women in the world who are suffering because the fact is we're not equal. It's as plain as that. It's still a men's world. I don't know. We'll go on with it.
I owe nothing to Women's Lib.
I hate feminism. It is poison,
The feminists hate me, don't they? And I don't blame them. For I hate feminism. It is poison.
We've got a responsibility to live up to the legacy of those who came before us by doing all that we can to help those who come after us.
Rape is one of the most terrible crimes on earth and it happens every few minutes. The problem with groups who deal with rape is that they try to educate women about how to defend themselves. What really needs to be done is teaching men not to rape. Go to the source and start there.
Flattery's fire is hidden. Its sweet taste is apparent, but the smoke is bound to come out at last.
She has got to have command of her body. So when she goes out into the world, she's going out with a command that is hers. She is used to making those, decisions herself.
Destroy the family and you destroy society
