Housewives are dependent creatures who are still children…parasites.

Where men come to and women come together most intimately in sexuality in the home has become suffused with violence.

Helping begins with listening.

I want us to organize, to tell the personal stories that create empathy, which is the most revolutionary emotion.

I'd just begun to be taken seriously as a freelance writer, but after the Playboy article, I mostly got requests to go underground in some other semi-sexual way. It was so bad that I returned an advance to turn the Playboy article into a paperback, even though I had to borrow the money.

I'm completely happy not having children. I mean, everybody does not have to live in the same way. And as somebody said, "Everybody with a womb doesn't have to have a child any more than everybody with vocal cords has to be an opera singer."

I do think it's important that there are feminist publications that are not dependent or only marginally dependent on advertising.
