The embattled
gates to equal rights indeed opened up for modern women, but
I sometimes think to myself: ''That is not what I meant by
freedom -- it is only social progress. ''
-- Helene Deutsch
1884-1982, American
Psychiatrist
Men who want
to support women in our struggle for freedom and justice
should understand that it is not terrifically important to
us that they learn to cry; it is important to us that they
stop the crimes of violence against us.
-- Andrea Dworkin
1946-, American Feminist
Critic
Women have
been taught that, for us, the earth is flat, and that if we
venture out, we will fall off the edge. Some of us have
ventured out nevertheless, and so far we have not fallen
off. It is my faith, my feminist faith, that we will not.
-- Andrea Dworkin
1946-, American Feminist
Critic
Feminism is
hated because women are hated. Anti-feminism is a direct
expression of misogyny; it is the political defense of women
hating.
-- Andrea Dworkin
1946-, American Feminist
Critic
