The feminist
anti-pornography movement, no less than the feminist
movement of a century ago, encourages the assumption that
male and female sexuality, and possibly morality, are as
unlike as yin and yang.
-- Barbara Ehrenreich
1941-, American Author,
Columnist
''I hate
discussions of feminism that end up with who does the
dishes,'' she said. So do I. But at the end, there are
always the damned dishes.
-- Marilyn French
1929-, American Author,
Critic
Surely women's
liberation is a most unpromising panacea. But the movement
is working politically, because our sexuality is so
confused, our masculinity so uncertain, and our families so
beleaguered that no one knows what they are for or how they
are sustained.
-- George Gilder
American Economist and Author
Merely
external emancipation has made of the modern woman an
artificial being. Now, woman is confronted with the
necessity of emancipating herself from emancipation, if she
really desires to be free.
-- Emma Goldman
1869-1940, American Anarchist

Women's
liberation, if it abolishes the patriarchal family, will
abolish a necessary substructure of the authoritarian state,
and once that withers away Marx will have come true
willy-nilly, so let's get on with it.
-- Germaine Greer
1939-, Australian Feminist
Writer
I didn't fight
to get women out from behind vacuum cleaners to get them
onto the board of Hoover.

The sight of
women talking together has always made men uneasy; nowadays
it means rank subversion.
-- Germaine Greer
1939-, Australian Feminist
Writer
There has come
into existence, chiefly in America, a breed of men who claim
to be feminists. They imagine that they have understood
''what women want'' and that they are capable of giving it
to them. They help with the dishes at home and make their
own coffee in the office, basking the while in the refulgent
consciousness of virtue. Such men are apt to think of the
true male feminists as utterly chauvinistic.
