I'm fully aware had I stayed with my art, I would be well known, respected and most likely rich.
Betty Dodson
Image
We all have our individual romantic or idealistic ideas. To get information that masturbation is our basic form of sex is hard, because who wants to admit they're masturbating?
Betty Dodson
Image
A monogamous marriage and family is what some women want - but not all of us. We are mostly doing serial monogamy anyway.
Betty Dodson
Image
It's very hard for a man to ask questions about sex. The smart ones do.
Betty Dodson
Image
The media only wants to get the view of the flaming radicals because they make better copy than those of us who are more sensible. I'm a feminist and I think I've done a lot of good.

When I found out after that first successful exhibition that the gallery wanted me to do another show like the first one, I come out two years later with four 6-foot drawings of classical nudes masturbating. The gallery director flipped the freak out!
Betty Dodson
Image
I used to think masturbation was not really sex because it only involved me. That's a very limited view of human sexuality, and it isn't going to work for women.
Betty Dodson
Image
Because orgasmic sex would lead to women's autonomy, knowing who you are and what we want: Women are not going to follow what some jackass tells us we must do. Not all women are going to get married, be monogamous and raise a family. It will destroy the current social structure based on a sexual double standard that we're currently living under.

The powers that be understand that sexual freedom or liberation with any kind of joy means they are losing control.
Betty Dodson
Image
I had very little support from any feminist organization. But fortunately my post-marital lover, who had bailed out of academia over political in-fighting, was a one-man support team. He was the one who pushed me to write.

Image
Women don't run around saying, Oh, I took a Bodysex workshop, and I had so much fun, and Betty Dodson taught us how to blah blah. They come, they go, and I rarely hear from them again.
Betty Dodson
Image
Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice! That's the condition of the female. Women have been conditioned to sacrifice for centuries.
Betty Dodson
Image
Although my Dad was a talented calligrapher and both of my younger brothers were successful, I was the first one in my family to graduate from high school.
Betty Dodson
Image
I think I should get the Nobel Peace Prize before I die for ending the war between the sexes.
Betty Dodson
Image
When I do documentaries, my best information ends up on the cutting-room floor. People have trouble dealing with sexual honesty.
Betty Dodson
Image
The women working at abortion clinics are really on the front lines and the true heroes of feminism.
Betty Dodson
Image
The clitoris is the female sex organ, and the fact that we aren't told that when we were small children is devastating. We grow up with no information about the pleasure center of our body.
Betty Dodson
Image
The first thing the male establishment wants to control is uterus and birth. You might call it womb envy. But even worse is the fact we are still using the male model of sexual response for women.
Betty Dodson
Image
We are at war with men, and most women don't even know it.

I consider myself a lesbian, but I'm a bisexual lesbian.
