I think I was in high school, actually, and it was a guidance counselor or someone said, you know, you're just too loud; like you need to just stop talking so much and stop being so opinionated; like no one wants to listen to you because you're really annoying. And I'm glad that I didn't shut up, because it seems like people are listening.

I think feminism is taking off. It's just not visible in the way that we would like it to be.

I think that blogging and the Internet has completely changed feminism for ever, I think.

If feminism wasn't powerful, if feminism wasn't influential, people wouldn't spend so much time putting it down.

I hope that by modeling feminism in my own life, work and relationships that it will haut become an organic part of my daughter's life. But I'm also fully prepared for her to become a Republican as a way to rebel as a teenager - that would be just my luck!

Something you hear a lot is that feminism dead. But if feminism is dead, why do people try so hard to kill it?

It used to be that if someone was to get involved in feminism, it was probably because they were already interested. They were already interested in feminism; they were already interested in being an activist, and they found their way to like a NOW meeting or to a consciousness-raising group or something like that.
