Intelligence in the service of poor instinct is really dangerous.

The phenomenon of the woman who's asked what movie she wants to see, and she says, "I don't know. What do you want to see?" It's a tiny version of a big tendency. Women need to say, "This is what I want."

Overthrowing capitalism is too small for us. We must overthrow the whole...patriarch!

Women fear endangering men's approval so much, we don't even wait for them to say no. Or else we protect them, even if it means saying no to ourselves.

The problem is that America is still so racist - I guess it's hard to find another word for it ­ - that they still, the press in general and many people, perceive only white women as feminists. They think black women are black.

When men realize that feminism is a universal good that affects them in very intimate ways then I think they really become allies and leaders.

I can't mate in captivity.
