I've yet to be on a campus where most women weren't worrying about some aspect of combining marriage, children, and a career. I've yet to find one where many men were worrying about the same thing. - Gloria Steinem
I can't be a rose in any man's lapel. - Margaret Trudeau
Scratch most feminists and underneath there is a woman who longs to be a sex object. The difference is that is not all she wants to be. - Betty Rollin
And the crazy part of it was even if you were clever, even if you spent your adolescence reading John Donne and Shaw, even if you studied history or zoology or physics and hoped to spend your life pursuing some difficult and challenging career, you still had a mind full of all the soupy longings that every high-school girl was awash in... underneath it, all you longed to be was annihilated by love, to be swept off your feet, to be filled up by a giant prick spouting sperm, soapsuds, silk and satins and, of course, money. - Erica Jong *(thought Koye might enjoy this one)
We have to have faith in ourselves. I have never met a woman who, deep down in her core, really believes she has great legs. And if she suspects that she might have great legs, then she's convinced that she has a shrill voice and no neck. - Cynthia Heimel
I didn't want to be a boy, ever, but I was outraged that his height and intelligence were graces for him and gaucheries for me. - Jane Rule
You don't have to signal a social conscience by looking like a frump. Lace knickers won't hasten the holocaust, you can ban the bomb in a feather boa just as well as without, and a mild interest in the length of hemlines doesn't necessarily disqualify you from reading Das Kapital and agreeing with every word. - Elizabeth Bibesco
FEMINISM! YAY!
