 I am an artist and a political being as well. |
| The Roman Catholic church... carries the immense power of very directly affecting women's lives everywhere by its stand against birth control and abortion. |
| Only she who attempts the absurd can achieve the impossible. |
| Sexism is not the fault of women - kill your fathers, not your mothers. |
| We can't destroy the inequities between men and women until we destroy marriage. |
| Don't accept rides from strange men - and remember that all men are strange as hell. |
| Women are not inherently passive or peaceful. |
| White males are the most responsible for the destruction of human life and environment on the planet today. |
| 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. |
| We are the women men warned us about. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| Friendship is mutual blackmail elevated to the level of love. |
| 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. |
| We're not inherently anything but human. |
| Oppression is something that one group of people commits against another group specifically because of a threatening characteristic shared by the latter group. |
| There's something contagious about demanding freedom. |
| Knowledge is power. Information is power. The secreting or hoarding of knowledge or information may be an act of tyranny camouflaged as humility. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
