The Catholic Church has never really come to terms with women. What I object to is being treated either as Madonnas or Mary Magdalenes.

I wasn't raised Catholic; I just really like the image of a neutral and benign Mary floating around somewhere, being nice to people.

You come to a point where you give up on holding yourself to a perfect feminist ideal - it just feels stifling.

I'm not a feminist at all.

I don't consider myself as a feminist but more a humanist.

If I had been the Virgin Mary, I would have said 'No.'

I still consider myself a feminist.

I really am a feminist, though I never used to call myself that.

And the first commandment of feminism is: I am woman; thou shalt not tolerate strange gods who assert that women have capabilities or often choose roles that are different from men's.
