Gloria Steinem Quotes

I think that we need to change the culture, not blame the people that are playing the only game that exists Picture Quote #1

Girls are taught to view their bodies as unending projects to work on, whereas boys from a young age, are taught to view their bodies as tools to master their environment Picture Quote #1

The point of the journey is not just healing. It’s also recovering the truest, most spontaneous, joyful, and creative core of ourselves Picture Quote #1

No other form of violence is legitimate. It is never acceptable to use violence to solve a problem. Whether personal or political Picture Quote #1

A man can be called ruthless if he bombs a country to oblivion. A woman can be called ruthless if she puts you on hold Picture Quote #1

Sex and race, because they are easy and visible differences, have been the primary ways of organizing human beings into superior and inferior groups and into the cheap labour on which this system still depends Picture Quote #1

The cleanup costs of polluting a river, injecting pesticides into the ground water, or putting noxious gases into the air have not been figured into the cost of the manufacturing or agribusiness that put them there in the first place. Historically, the economic incentive has been to pollute Picture Quote #1

Patriarchy requires violence or the subliminal threat of violence in order to maintain itself... The most dangerous situation for a woman is not an unknown man in the street, or even the enemy in wartime, but a husband or lover in the isolation of their home Picture Quote #1

I’ve only ever met one woman who actually was a prostitute of her own free will. She didn’t have a pimp. She could pick and choose her customers. That’s so rare. So we have to look at the reality and not romanticize it. We have to be clear that you have the right to sell your own body but nobody has the right to sell anybody else’s body. No one has that right Picture Quote #1

I want us to organize, to tell the personal stories that create empathy, which is the most revolutionary emotion. The truth of the mater is that hierarchy and violence can’t be remedied by more hierarchy and violence. The end doesn’t justify the means, the means we choose decide the end we get. The means are the end Picture Quote #1

If we’re by ourselves we come to feel crazy and alone. We need to make alternate families of small groups of women who support each other, talk to each other regularly, can speak their truths and their experiences and find they’re not alone in them, that other women have them, too... It makes such a huge difference Picture Quote #1

There’s really a shortage of good freelance writers... There are a lot of talented people who are very erratic, so either they don’t turn it in or they turn it in and it’s rotten; it’s amazing. Somebody who’s even maybe not all that terrific but who is dependable, who will turn in a publishable piece more or less on time, can really do very well Picture Quote #1

The feminist movement is often clouded with Gloria Steinem’s perspective, but I feel like denying women their sexuality is just as chauvinistic Picture Quote #1
