I grew up definitely a feminist, but I didn't call myself a feminist until I took my first women's studies class in college.

I think the idea that feminism is dead is dangerous because it leads women and men to believe that (1) they don't have to do anything; the work has been done, and that everything is okay now; and (2) it leaves them kind of alone, I think, in a struggle, and that's something I've seen a lot when I go to colleges and I speak to young women.

Men take what women make and claim it as their own.Men don’t love childrenThey kill them in a heartbeat to hurt a woman

If your husband is cheating on you, it doesn't mean that you need to get prettier -- it means he's a scumbag.

Sex for pleasure, for fun, or even for building relationships is completely absent from our national conversation. Yet taking the joy out of sexuality is a surefire way to ensure not that young women won't have sex, but rather that they'll have it without pleasure.

Hearing the Beastie Boys speak out against sexism made me feel like if these men who had once sung about getting girls to 'do the laundry' and 'clean up my room' could understand, maybe the rest of the world would follow suit. It made me hopeful in the best way.

I do think that more people are feminists than they realize.
