“Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream.”
Rush Limbaugh
“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
“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
“I'm furious about the women's liberationists. They keep getting up on soapboxes and proclaiming that women are brighter than men. That's true, but it should be kept very quiet or it ruins the whole racket.”
Anita Loos
“Coolest f-word ever deserves a fucking shout! I mean, why can't all decent men and women call themselves feminists? Out of respect for those who fought for this. I mean, look around, we have this.”
“We have to be careful in this era of radical feminism, not to emphasize an equality of the sexes that leads women to imitate men to prove their equality. To be equal does not mean you have to be the same.”
Eva Burrows
“[Feminism] asks that women be free to define themselves -- instead of having their identity defined for them, time and again, by their culture and their men.”
Susan Faludi
