Misogyny runs deeper than religion.

Every gain women have made in the past two hundred years has been in the face of experts insisting they couldn't do it and didn't really want to.

I'm anticlerical, not antireligion. If somebody believes there is God, I'm not interested in trying to persuade that person there is no intelligent design to the universe. Where I become interested and wake up is about the temporal power of religion, things like prayer in schools, or Catholic-secular hospital mergers.

One of the very important ideas of feminism for me has always been women helping and supporting each other.

For me, to be a feminist is to answer the question 'Are women human?' with a yes.

For many people, feminism is one of those words of which, as St. Augustine said about time, they know the meaning as long as no one is asking.

If a woman says, I am getting these breast implants to gain self confidence, then I have to ask, What kind of a society do we live in where a woman's self-confidence depends on having a dangerous, expensive and painful operation on a perfectly healthy body?
