Sisterhood is powerful.

We can't destroy the inequities between men and women until we destroy marriage.

People are capable of profound metamorphosis, though unfortunately they rarely avail themselves of this genius, force of habit being an even greater enemy of change than cowardice.

White males are the most responsible for the destruction of human life and environment on the planet today.

Knowledge is power. Information is power. The secreting or hoarding of knowledge or information may be an act of tyranny camouflaged as humility.

We're not inherently anything but human.

There's something contagious about demanding freedom.

Oppression is something that one group of people commits against another group specifically because of a threatening characteristic shared by the latter group.

I claim that rape exists any time sexual intercourse occurs when it has not been initiated by the woman, out of her own genuine affection and desire.

Sexism is not the fault of women - kill your fathers, not your mothers.

Only she who attempts the absurd can achieve the impossible.

Friendship is mutual blackmail elevated to the level of love.

The present always masquerades as a beginning; maybe we couldn't endure it if we realized at the time that it was a peak, or even an ending.

In the long run, Women's Liberation will of course free men-but in the short run it's going to COST men a lot of privilege, which no one gives up willingly or easily.

Feminism is for all women and girls, not a privileged few or one ethnicity, religion, age, sexual preference, ability, region or hemisphere.

It isn't until you begin to fight in your own cause that you become really committed to winning and become a genuine ally of other people struggling for their freedom.

The subtlest and most vicious aspect of women's oppression is that we have been conditioned to believe we are not oppressed, blinded so as not to see our own condition.

Women born and raised on this fragile planet have more uniting us than dividing us - and it's the job of feminists to help us realise that.

Legitimate revolution must be led by, made by those who have been most oppressed: black, brown, yellow, red, and white women-with men relating to that the best they can.

Metaphor is the energy charge that leaps between images, revealing their connections.

I am an artist and a political being as well.

I do believe deeply that all human beings male and female are sexual beings most likely bisexual beings channeled this way and that by cultures terrified of boundary crossings without passports stamped gay or straight.

Let's put one lie to rest for all time: the lie that men are oppressed, too, by sexism-the lie that there can be such a thing as men's liberation groups.

Women are not inherently passive or peaceful.

Should we tolerate debate within feminism's ranks? Undebatable! But it's not so simple: women are socialised to avoid conflict; when we do differ, especially on politics and in public, it's still tediously labelled a 'catfight.'

The Roman Catholic church... carries the immense power of very directly affecting women's lives everywhere by its stand against birth control and abortion.

We are the women men warned us about.

Don't accept rides from strange men - and remember that all men are strange as hell.

I feel that man-hating is an honorable and viable political act, that the oppressed have a right to class-hatred against the class that is oppressing them.
