Familiarity with your lover is what initially makes sex really good.

Human beings like variety, and they also like partnership... these are scientific values we can point to.

People who love science fiction really do love sex.

There are also just as many, if not more, women who are anxious to hold down the status quo.

I'm like the kid in kindergarten; I really do send valentines to everyone.

I'm a Mommy's Girl - the strongest influence in my young life was my mom.

Now I have to have the biggest P.O. box in the entire post office to get all the manuscripts coming in.

I'm writing a new book right now that is like an erotica manifesto.

There is more criticism of puritanism, and more distance from Christian morality, than there has been before.

You name the demonstration; I was at it.

I think moms need to share information on a regular, intimate basis.

I see the effects of sexual and gender liberation all around me, just like you do, but I don't have a sense of being in the majority.

I had a hard time publishing my books in the beginning of my career, because editors were afraid what people would think of THEM, personally, if their name was associated with me.

In fact, I think for a lot of writers, it's so hard to be read.

I had no idea that mothering my own child would be so healing to my own sadness from my childhood.

I love turning my daughter on to old movies.

My idea of the ideal sex education site doesn't exist.

It's not that sexual liberation or feminist messages are dead.

Doing the right thing for someone else was like a tonic for me; it was like some magic ointment that made a wound disappear.

You have to calendar time for yourself even if you have no idea what you're going to do with it.

I think that you have to do everything you can do to empower girls when they are young, from their education, to their successful independence, to their sexual self-knowledge.

Finding people who get enormous pleasure from reading books is a more and more unusual experience, and so writers just so much want to be heard.

So that would be a classic mixed message to young women: you should look a certain way that's going to destroy your reproductive system and your sexual appetite, but at the same time, you should be interested in sex!

You have to calendar time for yourself even if you have no idea what youre going to do with it.

Feminism is hated because women are hated. Anti-feminism is a direct expression of misogyny; it is the political defense of women hating.

I got more and more politically active and just followed the course of feminism and sexual liberation.

My feminism is humanism, with the weakest being those who I represent, and that includes many beings and life forms, including some men.

Even now, after whatever gains feminism has made in involving fathers in the rearing of their children, I still think virtually all of us spend the most formative years of our lives very much in the presence of women.

Feminism is sort of like God. Many people profess to believe in it, but no one seems to be able to define it to everyone's satisfaction.

What, do you think that feminism means you hate men?

'I hate discussions of feminism that end up with who does the dishes,' she said. So do I. But at the end, there are always the damned dishes.

I used to think feminism was a liberating force - now I see many of those people are just censors under a different name.

I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat.

Until women learn to want economic independence, and until they work out a way to get this independence without denying themselves the joys of love and motherhood, it seems to me feminism has no roots.

Sotomayor's vainglorious lecture bromide about herself as "a wise Latina" trumping white men is a vulgar embarrassment - a vestige of the bad old days of male-bashing feminism.

Has feminism made us all more conscious? I think it has. Feminist critiques of anthropological masculine bias have been quite important, and they have increased my sensitivity to that kind of issue.

The cornerstone of the political correctness that dominates campus culture is radical feminism.

I think feminism has had a major impact on anthropology.

Feminism is a political mistake. Feminism is a mistake made by women's intellect, a mistake which her instinct will recognize.

People have accepted the media's idea of what feminism is, but that doesn't mean that it's right or true or real. Feminism is not monolithic. Within feminism, there is an array of opinions.

Feminism is a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.

The Myth of Male Power dealt much more with the political issues, the legal issues, sexual harassment, date rape, women who kill, and those issues were very much more interfaced with the agendas of feminism.

Sexual harassment law is very important. But I think it would be a mistake if the sexual harassment law movement is the only way in which feminism is known in the media.

The young women in my classes are feisty and clever and believe, often with the passion of youthful optimism, that feminism is a battle already won. I worry for them - and for my daughters, too.

There's a side of me that dislikes feminism. I think we surrendered something and women were unable to reveal any kind of vulnerability.
