What's good about talking about being victimized is that it is the beginning of being able to stop it.

It's very attractive to people to be a victim. Instead of having to think out the whole situation, about history and your group and what you are doing... if you begin from the point of view of being a victim, you've got it half-made. I mean intellectually.

We live in a society of victimization, where people are much more comfortable being victimized than actually standing up for themselves.

I hate the victimization of women, always.

I don't want to be a victim.

I'm not a victim, and I don't need to behave like one.

Everybody is not a victim.

I dislike the word 'victim.' I dislike being told that I 'lost' my husband - as if I had idly abandoned you by the side of the railway track like an unwanted pair of old shoes.

Mostly I'm telling people that they don't have to be victims.

More than a victim, I am a survivor of a dehumanization process.
