I don't think that the feminist movement has done much for the characters of women.

Feminists wish women to seem like men. They're not men.

I merged those two words black and feminist because I was surrounded by black women who were very tough and and who always assumed they had to work and rear children and manage homes.

Young feminists have been sold a bill of goods about American feminism. The enormous changes in women over the past 40 years are constantly and falsely attributed to the organized women's movement of the late 1960s and '70s.

I wouldn't call myself a feminist because I think there are differences between men and women.

When we create out of our experiences as feminists of color women of color we have to develop those structures that will present and circulate our culture.

If we value what we've inherited for free - from other women - surely it's right morally and ethically for us to wake up and say 'I'm a feminist. '

I'm not particularly a feminist but if you get women off the animal cycle of reproduction and give them some say in how many children they'll have immediately the floor will rise.

But the true feminist deals out of a lesbian consciousness whether or not she ever sleeps with women.

I just like to have words that describe things correctly. Now to me 'black feminist' does not do that. I need a word that is organic that really comes out of the culture that really expresses the spirit that we see in black women. And it's just... womanish.
