Feminism starts out being very simple, and it ends up being a world view that questions hierarchy altogether.

I've yet to be on a campus where most women weren't worrying about some aspect of combining marriage, children, and a career. I've yet to find one where many men were worrying about the same thing.

I think that part of everybody's success is due to their looks, but it just works in different ways. If you're whatever society calls attractive, then people say that you got ahead because of your looks-especially if you're a woman. If you're whatever society says is not attractive, then they say you got ahead because you're compensating, you couldn't get a man or whatever. So everybody pays the same penalty for the fact that women are assessed for their outsides rather than for what's in our heads and our hearts.

If the men in the room would only think how they would feel graduating with a 'spinster of arts' degree they would see how important this is.

You have no choice but to live in the present, if you're really being open to events and people as they come along.

You're afraid to be close to women. Because it's not masculine to be close to women. The last time you were close to a woman, you were a child.

Looking at traditional marriages, it seems the surest way for a woman to be alone is to get married.
