Love is the victim's response to the rapist.

Since the beginning of the Movement, lesbianism has been a kind of code word for female resistance.

Sisterhood is powerful. It kills. Mostly sisters.

Love is the victim's response to the rapist.

Feminism is the theory, lesbianism is the practice.

There is at least one thing more brutal than the truth, and that is the consequence of saying less than the truth.

The price of clinging to the enemy [a man] is your life. To enter into a relationship with a man who has divested himself as completely and publicly from the male role as much as possible would still be a risk. But to relate to a man who has done any less is suicide.... I, personally, have taken the position that I will not appear with any man publicly, where it could possibly be interpreted that we were friends.
