“A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men.”

“Women have two choices: Either she's a feminist or a masochist.”

“Women are always saying,"We can do anything that men can do." But Men should be saying,"We can do anything that women can do.”

“Nobody cares about feminist academic writing. That's careerism. These poor women in academia have to talk this silly language that nobody can understand in order to be accepted... But I recognize the fact that we have this ridiculous system of tenure, that the whole thrust of academia is one that values education, in my opinion, in inverse ratio to its usefulness—and what you write in inverse relationship to its understandability. [...] Academics are forced to write in language no one can understand so that they get tenure. They have to say 'discourse', not 'talk'. Knowledge that is not accessible is not helpful.”

“The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn but to unlearn.”

“Any woman who chooses to behave like a full human being should be warned that the armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke . . . She will need her sisterhood.”

“Men should think twice before making widowhood women's only path to power.”
