So, this is the second post in one day, but the first was really short and I didn't think of this until now. I'm going to post some quotes that I happen to like. Finally I have a place to write these down!
Men are taught to apologize for their weaknesses, women for their strengths. ~Lois Wyse
Women are not inherently passive or peaceful. We're not inherently anything but human. ~Robin Morgan
Many beautiful women have been made happy by their own beauty, but no intelligent woman has ever been made happy by her own intelligence. ~Mignon McLaughlin
The little rift between the sexes is astonishingly widened by simply teaching one set of catchwords to the girls and another to the boys. ~Robert Louis Stevenson
Men define intelligence, men define usefulness, men tell us what is beautiful, men even tell us what is womanly. ~Sally Kempton
Feminism is hated because women are hated. Anti-feminism is a direct expression of misogyny; it is the political defense of women hating.
Andrea Dworkin
The emotional, sexual, and psychological stereotyping of females begins when the doctor says, "It's a girl."
~ Shirley Chisholm
I didn't go through any great effort to standardize the formatting. But those are a few of the quotes I like. Specifically, quotes relating to feminism. I have others relating to other things.
You should check out Necessary Dreams by Anna Fels. I just finished it.
