When you have increasing power of religious groups, oppression of women increases. Women are oppressed in all religions.

Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe.

For centuries the leaders of Christian thought spoke of women as a necessary evil, and the greatest saints of the Church are those who despise women the most.

When I started giving talks about women's history, one of the things that bothered me was the tendency to say, 'Well, everybody was totally oppressed and suddenly in 1964 we rose up, got our freedom, and here we are.' It dismisses the women who fought for rights for several hundred years of our history up to that point.

Women are obviously much more discriminated against than men in many ways.

Feminists are in an untenable position, defending something they no longer believe in, and which history will force them to recognize was destructive of most of the central pillars of civilization. I'm just the first one to point it out publicly.

Every religious pioneer, including Jesus Christ, was persecuted by his contemporaries. But once people understand me, their turn can be dramatic like Saint Paul's.

If you look at any other group of people suffering injustice, women are always in the worst situation within that group.

I think feminists are unaware of the tremendous extent of the role of women in history.

I don't for a moment believe that women have suffered the same kind of injustices that blacks have - women have never been enslaved. But still, many of the psychological and economic problems are the same.
