Quote

The most potent weapon of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed.

Feminism, unlike almost every other social movement, is not a struggle against a distinct oppressor - it's not the ruling class or the occupiers or the colonizers - it's against a deeply held set of beliefs and assumptions that we women, far too often, hold ourselves.

I think women can cope a lot better than men.

Men are motivated and empowered when they feel needed. Women are motivated and empowered when they feel cherished.

I don't believe in men who make us feel unhappy, because they're boys, not men.

Women are the only 'oppressed' group that is able to buy most of the $10 billion worth of cosmetics each year; the only oppressed group that spends more on high fashion, brand-name clothing than its oppressors; the only oppressed group that watches more TV.

Women get more unhappy the more they try to liberate themselves.

There is nothing in this world which men desire and struggle for, and that is good for them, of which there is not enough for everybody.

Men seem unable to feel equal to women: they must be superior or they are inferior.

Men exist for the sake of one another.
