We can tell our values by looking at our checkbook stubs.

It's going to take a while because for the last 500 years patriarchal societies have been devoted to controlling reproduction and that means controlling women. So we got into this masculine/feminine, dominant/passive paradigm, and it's going to take a while to get out.

There's no such thing as post-feminism. It's like saying post-democracy, excuse me, what does that mean? We're nowhere near equality, so the very idea of post-feminism is ridiculous. The same people who 30-40 years ago said the women's movement is not necessary, 'it's going against nature, my wife is not interested' [are] the same people now saying 'well it used to be necessary but not anymore.' The very invention of the word post-feminism is the current form of resistance.

I just think that culturally, women - we're all human beings - but at least we don't have our masculinity to prove.

It doesn't matter where we begin the personal/political circle, but it matters desperately that we complete it.

A woman reading Playboy feels a little like a Jew reading a Nazi manual.

The act of acting morally is behaving as if everything we do matters.
