Once you get married, women are still implicitly expected to do the majority of the housework and take care of any future children.

I think motherhood has made issues all feel much more urgent than they did before. So it didn't necessarily change how I feel about certain things - it just fired me up to be even more active on behalf of my daughter.

Young women know that something is off; they know that the world is a messed-up place. They know that the world is a sexist place because they've had experiences in their own life; they see things happening to their friends, to their parents. But because feminism isn't widely accepted, because they don't necessarily have access to feminist thought or to feminist groups, they don't necessarily have a language to put behind the feelings and the thoughts that they're having. And they certainly don't have a support system to let them know like, hey, that's okay; you're right, that is screwed up.

If you're fighting to limit other women's rights, then you can't really call yourself a feminist.

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

The truth about parenting is that the reality of our lives needs to be enough.

You come to a point where you give up on holding yourself to a perfect feminist ideal — it just feels stifling.
