People have a right to their own lives, and if you can't help somebody, you ought to get out of their way.
Kate Millett
Image
Perhaps nothing is so depressing an index of the inhumanity of the male-supremacist mentality as the fact that the more genial human traits are assigned to the underclass: affection, response to sympathy, kindness, cheerfulness.

Image
No one should be adored, it's fundamentally immoral.
Kate Millett
Image
I was supposed to be women's lib, and now I'd exceeded it and gone over into international politics.
Kate Millett
Image
The image of the woman as we know it is an image created by men and fashioned to suit their needs.

The rationale which accompanies that imposition of male authority euphemistically referred to as 'the battle of the sexes' bears a certain resemblance to the formulas of nations at war, where any heinousness is justified on the grounds that the enemy is either an inferior [part of the] species or really not human at all.
