People are quite clear in viewing nuns as the servants and the teachers and the supporters of the poor. You contrast that with the fact that the Vatican did virtually nothing about long-known pedophiles, and it's just too much.

Whatever you want to do,do it now.

In my own mind, I am still a fat brunette from Toledo, and I always will be.

There's no emotion more revolutionary than empathy.

An education is not a thing one gets, but a lifelong process.

Only when women rebel against patriarchal standards does female muscle become more accepted.

I don't like writing. I like having written.

More women are becoming the men they wanted to marry, but too few men are becoming the women they wanted to marry. That leaves most women with two jobs, one outside the home and one in it.

There's a big gap between public opinion polls and the vote in Washington, in Congress. The majority consciousness has changed, and often that has made very clear, practical changes in our daily lives, but the centers of power are still not occupied, for the most part, by this new consciousness.

If you're going to have a male dominant system, to maintain the system, you have to teach men to dominate.

Image
I think we all have the power to name ourselves. I try to call people what it is they wish to be called. But we can take the sting out of epithets and bad words by using them.

Many ideas have been transformed by adding one crucial adjective-women's bank, women's music, women's studies, women's caucus. That adjective did more than change a phrase. It implied a lot of new content: child care, flexible work hours, new standards of creditworthiness, new symbolism, new lyrics.

I don't want to die saying but, you know? There's so much I want to do, so I want more time.

I hate when people say, Have fun at the press preview. Fun is talking to you.

People start to talk about post-racist, post-feminist. What does that mean? We're clearly not post either. Would you say post-democracy? Clearly we haven't reached true democracy yet.

Writers - we're a little crazy about how much we care about it. We spend a lot of time fussing. At least, I do.

For women... bras, panties, bathing suits, and other stereotypical gear are visual reminders of a commercial, idealized feminine image that our real and diverse female bodies can't possibly fit. Without these visual references, each individual woman's body demands to be accepted on its own terms. We stop being comparatives. We begin to be unique.

I would say that each of us has only one thing to gain from the feminist movement: Our whole humanity. Because gender has wrongly told us that some things are masculine and some things are feminine... which is bullshit.

Women are never again going to be mindless coffee-makers or mindless policy-makers in politics.
