Feminist Quotes

Yes, I’m a feminist, because I see all women as smart, gifted and tough Picture Quote #1

My goal in life is to change the entire social and economic structure of western civilization, to make it a feminist world Picture Quote #1

I mean, I absolutely call myself a feminist. And by that, I mean a woman who believes that your opportunities should not be constrained by your gender, that women should be entitled to the same opportunities as men Picture Quote #1

To me, a feminist belong in the same category as a humanist or an advocate for human rights. I don’t see why someone who’s a feminist should be thought of differently Picture Quote #1

I wouldn’t want to be labelled unless it was something much broader and inclusive such as an ecological artist or a visionary artist, but there’s a constraint in the definition of a feminist artist, you’re an artist and you’re a feminist Picture Quote #1

I’d like every man who doesn’t call himself a feminist to explain to the women in his life why he doesn’t believe in equality for women Picture Quote #1

For me, now, feminist art must show a consciousness of women’s social and economic position in the world. I also believe it demonstrates forms and perceptions that are drawn from a sense of spiritual kinship between women Picture Quote #1

The feminist revolution had to be fought because women quite simply were stopped at a state of evolution far short of their human capacity Picture Quote #1

Just as the end goal of socialist revolution was not only the elimination of the economic class privilege but of the economic class distinction itself, so the end goal of feminist revolution must be,... not just the elimination of the male privilege, but of the sex distinction itself; genital differences between human beings would no longer matter culturally Picture Quote #1

Looking back on 200 years of feminist agitation in this country, we’ve got to get it that the moral high ground doesn’t get us anything. Pleading with powerful men never gets us what we need. Talking doesn’t do it. Being right doesn’t do it. Hardball politics does it... and a political strategy Picture Quote #1

I would much rather be the obnoxious feminist girl than be complicit in my own dehumanization Picture Quote #1

Pornography as propaganda, according to feminist analysis, represents women as objects who love to be abused, and teaches men practices of degradation and abuse to carry out upon women Picture Quote #1

Radical feminist theorists do not seek to make gender a bit more flexible, but to eliminate it. They are gender abolitionists, and understand gender to provide the framework and rationale for male dominance. In the radical feminist approach, masculinity is the behaviour of the male ruling class and femininity is the behaviour of the subordinate class of women. Thus gender can have no place in the egalitarian future that feminism aims to create Picture Quote #1

As a feminist, I consider the female pronoun to be an honorific, a term that conveys respect. Respect is due to women as members of a sex caste that have survived subordination and deserve to be addressed with honour. Men who transgender cannot occupy such a position Picture Quote #1

Feminism is dead in the world. It comes from another time. I’m a feminist. I want to fight, but I don’t see many people with this desire to fight for something. Women don’t help each other, especially in fashion Picture Quote #1

Women, who are the prime victims of religion, and perhaps in some, stockholm syndrome effect, often form the most fervent advocates of the very thing that degrades them. I believe that in the end, it will be women who will turn this around. This should be the final stage of feminism. For a feminist to still believe in God is like a freed slave still living on the plantation Picture Quote #1

There’s always the danger that the extreme feminist will end up quite unfulfilled as a girl Picture Quote #1

I just thought: Oh goodness, you can wear nice clothes and get your hair done and still be a feminist and a serious intellectual Picture Quote #1

I’m a feminist so I believe in inhabiting contradictions. I believe in making contradictions productive, not in having to choose one side or the other side. As opposed to choosing either or, choosing both Picture Quote #1

If you believe that men and women have equal rights, if someone asks if you’re feminist, you have to say yes because that is how words work Picture Quote #1

Maybe I’m a bad feminist, but I am deeply committed to the issues important to the feminist movement. I have strong opinions about misogyny, institutional sexism that consistently places women at a disadvantage, the inequity in pay, the cult of beauty and thinness, the repeated attacks on reproductive freedom, violence against women, and on and on. I am as committed to fighting fiercely for equality as I am committed to disrupting the notion that there is an essential feminism Picture Quote #1

Any man worth his salt loves a feminist. Only men who are afraid of the feminine in themselves are afraid of women Picture Quote #1

Let’s take this figure of the feminist killjoy seriously. Does the feminist kill other people’s joy by pointing out moments of sexism? Or does she expose the bad feelings that get hidden, displaced, or negated under public signs of joy? Does bad feeling enter the room when somebody expresses anger about things, or could anger be the moment when the bad feelings that circulate through objects get brought to the surface in a certain way? Picture Quote #1

I’m very feminist in the way I look at the world, and that worldview must somehow be part of my work Picture Quote #1

I think feminist pedagogy should not simply expose students to a particularized academic scholarship but that it should also envision the possibility of activism and struggle outside the academy Picture Quote #1

If you consider sexual desire and romantic love between men and women to be natural and healthy, you are not a feminist. There is nothing natural about sex, according to feminist ideology, no biological urge that causes women to be attracted to men Picture Quote #1

You can’t be a woman and not be a feminist, I don’t think. If you care about the world and the world you exist in and your rights Picture Quote #1

$We don’t all have to believe in the same feminism. Feminism can be pluralistic so long as we respect the different feminisms we carry with us, so long as we give enough of a damn to try to minimize the fractures among us. Feminism will better succeed with collective effort, but feminist success can also rise out of personal conduct Picture Quote #1$

Even as a feminist, my whole life I’d been waiting for a man to love, who could love me. For decades, I’d thought that man would be my father. When I was 25, I met that man and he was my brother Picture Quote #1
