I am not at all for a feminism which is entirely separatist, which would say, "this domain is purely for women." I don't believe that at all.
Simone de BeauvoirThe body is not a thing, it is a situation: it is our grasp on the world and our sketch of our project
Simone de BeauvoirThere is the problem of unpaid labor, such as housework, which represents millions and millions of unsalaried work hours and on which masculine society is firmly based. To put an end to this would be to send the present-day capitalist system flying in a single blow. Only we can't do it by ourselves; there have to be other kinds of attacks on the system. So a certain alliance with revolutionary systems is necessary, even masculine ones.
