Feminism's agenda is basic: it asks that women not be forced to "choose" between public justice and private happiness. It asks that women be free to define themselves-instead of having their identity defined for them, time and again, by their culture and their men.

Divorced men are more likely to meet their car payments than their child support obligations.

The piles of makeup and the insistence on frills and ribbons and bows was not at all attuned to my feminist views.

I've never believed that women have some special, essentialist qualities, or were more nurturing, cooperative, and morally superior.

Hungary is now on the brink of becoming a neo-fascist state.

Self-esteem is the basis for feminism because self-esteem is based on defining yourself and believing in that definition. Self-esteem is regarding yourself as a grown-up.

A backlash against women's rights is nothing new. Indeed it's a recurring phenomenon: it returns every time women begin to make some headway towards equality, a seemingly inevitable early frost to the brief flowerings of feminism.
