This is certainly a very tricky point: How to ally yourself to other leftist forces without losing your feminist specificity.

You can't address yourself to women by speaking a language which no average woman will understand. In my opinion, it's wrong.

If you try consciously to be avant-garde, it's a little dangerous, like the present state of modern painting, where dealers try to be avant-garde, and under this pretext, painters take some old scraps and call it avant-garde.

Feminism is one way of attacking society as it now exists.

Jealousy is not contemptible, real love has a beak and claws.

Most feminists in France came to feminism after '68 as a result of the hypocrisy they experienced in leftist movements. In these movements, where everyone believed there was going to be true equality, fraternity between men and women, and that together they were going to struggle against this rotten society, even there they noticed that the leftists, the militants, kept them "in their place." Women made the coffee while the others did the talking; they were the ones who typed the letters.

To be moral is to discover fundamentally ones own being.
