Feminist Quotes

Popular culture - above all rock ‘n’ roll, with its African-American R and B roots - did far more to radicalize us than did any feminist leader Picture Quote #1

When I was coming of age, I remembered reading and studying the initial ideas within the feminist movement. There was this idea with my parents’ generation that in order to find equality, a woman would need to behave like a man Picture Quote #1

I certainly wouldn’t be writing books if it hadn’t been for the feminist blogosphere, and I think that’s a really amazing thing Picture Quote #1

The feminist movement has far more anger for men than it has love for women Picture Quote #1

I am attempting to move away from the exclusionary practices of feminist theory, particularly anti-pornography rhetoric, in order to amplify the discussion about the complexity of pleasure for women Picture Quote #1

Are you trivialising the sisterhood if you dye your hair or have your eyebrows threaded? I’d say the answer to that is no. But equally, it’s a perfectly valid feminist thing to say there is a certain amount of attention on a woman’s appearance, and I don’t wish that to be the focus or a distraction Picture Quote #1

Aretha Franklin was a teenage mom, a musician who came from an incredibly Christian background, but there was a lot of love, which is really inspiring in a feminist way Picture Quote #1

I am failing as a woman. I am failing as a feminist. To freely accept the feminist label would not be fair to good feminists. If I am, indeed, a feminist, I am a rather bad one. I am a mess of contradictions Picture Quote #1

I am a feminist. I reject wholeheartedly the way we are taught to perceive women. The beauty of women, how a woman should act or behave. Women are strong and fragile. Women are beautiful and ugly. We are soft-spoken and loud, all at once. There is something mind-controlling about the way we’re taught to view women. My work, both visually and musically, is a rejection of all those things Picture Quote #1

Feminist, whatever the definition, whatever you call yourself - I am, I’m not - none of us want little girls being forced into early marriage before they’re 12 Picture Quote #1

Full disclosure: I went to university as an eager young feminist for many reasons - to get away from my parents, to soak up literature and knowledge, to cease being a child, to expand my mind and my world Picture Quote #1

Feminism to me means fighting. It’s a very nuanced, complex thing, but at the very core of it I’m a feminist because I don’t think being a girl limits me in any way Picture Quote #1

I think for a long time it seemed like working in an art form and being a feminist meant portraying women in a perfect, angelic light. And there’s nothing feminist about that Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been a feminist, and what I love in my work is being able to explore a full-sided woman and not patronize her Picture Quote #1

Any woman who says she’s not a feminist is just someone who’s afraid of being penalised for saying she wants to advocate for women Picture Quote #1

I realized that calling yourself a feminist or not calling yourself a feminist, just by being in a band of all girls, it’s all you talk about Picture Quote #1

I would definitely say I’m a feminist. To me, it just means being attentive and mindful. It’s about equality and equal treatment. It feels like a gut instinct Picture Quote #1

I don’t think it’s not feminist to use every tool you have to succeed, and part of that is being a woman - presenting yourself in a certain way Picture Quote #1

I believe in equality. But I don’t like the word feminist, because it’s such a rational belief to think that women are equal to men, and I’m a rational person. You shouldn’t be labeled for being reasonable. You should be labeled if you’re f-cking crazy Picture Quote #1

Men think it’s a women’s word. But what it means is that you believe in equality, and if you stand for equality, then you’re a feminist. Sorry to tell you. You’re a feminist. You’re a feminist. That’s it Picture Quote #1

I believe and support the feminist movement, but I am not generally interested in considering women’s rights in relation to equality with men, or in a competition with men, but rather within their own rights and feminine space Picture Quote #1

When people ask me do I believe in feminism - well, I didn’t even know I was a feminist. I was the top of the bill; I’ve always been the top of the bill. So I don’t know what equality is Picture Quote #1

People say, ‘Gee, you don’t really do political music.’ Well, I sing a lot of songs about how men and women and lovers treat each other, and none of us want to be talked down to or belittled or ignored or disrespected... So I’m proud to be a feminist Picture Quote #1
