“Becoming the new feminine ideal requires just the right combination of insecurity, exercise, bulimia and surgery.”
G. B. Trudeau
“The battle for the individual rights of women is one of long standing and none of us should countenance anything which undermines it.”
Eleanor Roosevelt
“I will respect what people will vote. People who fought for what they thought was right even though the majority was against them inspire me. In the past, the “minority” fought for women to gain their voting rights, for 18-year-olds to be able to vote, for those who wanted Malta to be independent, ruled by its own government, those who were against homosexuality listed as a crime. Even if alone, I will keep on fighting for the civil rights which our country needs to work on.”
Joseph Muscat
“My idea of feminism is self-determination, and it's very open-ended: every woman has the right to become herself, and do whatever she needs to do.”
Ani Difranco
“I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is; I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat”
Rebecca West
“Feminism is a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.”
Pat Robertson
“It's important to remember that feminism is no longer a group of organizations or leaders. It's the expectations that parents have for their daughters, and their sons, too. It's the way we talk about and treat one another. It's who makes the money and who makes the compromises and who makes the dinner. It's a state of mind. It's the way we live now.”
