It's easier to sit there and say you don't like feminists because they don't have a sense of humor.

Whatever feminists may say about their only advocating choices everyone knows the truth: Feminism regards work outside the home as more elevating honorable and personally productive than full-time mothering and making a home.

I think feminists are unaware of the tremendous extent of the role of women in history.

To avoid being mistaken for a sellout I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets.

The failure of academic feminists to recognize difference as a crucial strength is a failure to reach beyond the first patriarchal lesson. In our world divide and conquer must become define and empower.

Earlier feminists were almost universally pro-choice and have dominated political debate until now. Having access to abortion was viewed as the only way women could have full equality with men who until recently couldn't get pregnant.

Feminists bore me to death. I follow my instinct and if that supports young girls in any way great. But I'd rather they saw it more as a lesson about following their own instincts rather than imitating somebody.

A lot of women these days a lot of young women don't want to call themselves feminists. You have this cheap hideous 'girl power' sort of fad which I think is pretty benign at best but at worst I think it's a way of taking the politics out of feminism and making it some kind of fashion.
