The great mass of women throughout history have been confined to the cultural level of animal life in providing the male with sexual outlet and exercising the animal functions of reproduction and care of the young.
From Kate Millett
Many women do not recognize themselves as discriminated against; no better proof could be found of the totality of their conditioning.
They are more beautiful than anything in the world, kinetic sculptures, perfect form in motion.
A sexual revolution begins with the emancipation of women, who are the chief victims of patriarchy, and also with the ending of homosexual oppression.
Everybody believes in psychiatry; it's supposed to be for our own good. Let psychiatry prove that anybody has an illness, and I'd concede, but there is no physical proof.
I saw hell. The hospital had divided and conquered pretty successfully.
I was supposed to be women's lib, and now I'd exceeded it and gone over into international politics.
I'm slammed with an identity that can no longer say a word; mute with responsibility.
In those days, when you got boxed, that was it. A lot of old people were there because somebody wanted the farm. It was about property. People are treated like property.
It was horrifying. You wouldn't believe how people are treated there. You could see that these people had withdrawn so far that they just lived in their own minds. They did terrible things to themselves.
