Earlier feminists were almost universally pro-choice and have dominated political debate until now. Having access to abortion was viewed as the only way women could have full equality with men, who, until recently, couldn't get pregnant.
As a general rule, when something gets elevated to apple-pie status in the hierarchy of American values, you have to suspect that its actual monetary value is skidding toward zero. Take motherhood: nobody ever thought of putting it on a moral pedestal until some brash feminists pointed out, about a century ago, that the pay is lousy and the career ladder nonexistent. Same thing with work: would we be so reverent about the 'work ethic' if it wasn't for the fact that the average working stiff's hourly pay is shrinking, year by year.
All men should be feminists. If men cared about women's rights, the world would be a better place
I feel sad that we have allowed these knee-jerk feminists who want to act like it's a struggle against men. . . but again that's the least politically developed strand of feminism.
I have met many feminists who were not Lesbians but I have never met a Lesbian who was not a feminist.
I think five percent of all songs can be love songs, and another five percent can be miscellaneous or political, but the rest should just be about medieval feminists.
You can't really ever know what someone is like or what they're thinking. There are people who say they're feminists but who say really anti-feminist things, [and] other people who think they're one way but act another.
For many people - from secular feminists to observant Jews - the notion of a feminist Judaism is an oxymoron.
When feminists become saints, we will become their pupils.
Unwittingly, the feminists acknowledge the superiority of the male sex by wishing to become like men.
Second-wave feminists didn't look for an overthrow of patriarchy. Instead, they analyzed what they were up against and fought it in all of its varied manifestations.
Do feminists have a sense of humor? Yes.
American feminists have generally stressed the ways in which men and women should be equal and have therefore tried to put aside differences. . . . Social feminists [in Europe]believe that men and society at large should provide systematic support to women in recognition of their dual role as mothers and workers.
I’m just being myself. There is not an ounce of me that believes any of that crap that they say. We can’t be feminine and be feminists and be successful? I want to be a f-king feminist and wear a f-king Peter Pan collar. So f-king what?
The men sometimes do a better job of concealing their hate than the women. With the feminists, you can see it in their faces.
The serious work for feminism in the 21st century is across the globe. Instead of retreating into "safe spaces" and focusing on their own imagined oppression, today's feminists should be reaching out to women's groups in the developing world.
I have a lot of fantasies about being tied up and spanked. I suppose it isn't very liberated, is it? What kind of fantasies do feminists have?
Feminists don't like me, and I don't like them.
I am more feminist than feminists.
I'd never call myself a feminist, and that the world doesn't need male feminists.
