More quotes by Kate Millett
No one should be adored, it's fundamentally immoral.
Kate Millett
Politics is repetition. It is not change. Change is something beyond what we call politics. Change is the essence politics is supposed to be the means to bring into being.
Kate Millett
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

Kate Millett
When one group rules another, the relationship between the two is political. When such an arrangement is carried out over a long period of time it develops an ideology (feudalism, racism, etc.). All historical civilizations are patriarchies: their ideology is male supremacy.
Kate Millett
Isn't privacy about keeping taboos in their place
Kate Millett
Men and women were declared equal one morning and everybody could divorce each other by postcard
Kate Millett
In sex one wants or does not want. And the grief, the sorrow of life is that one cannot make or coerce or persuade the wanting, cannot command it, cannot request it by mail order or finagle it through bureaucratic channels.
Kate Millett
The image of the woman as we know it is an image created by men and fashioned to suit their needs.
Kate Millett
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.
Kate Millett
You won't do any more housework Then you go to the bin.
Kate Millett
Ah, but depression - that is what we all hate. We the afflicted. Whereas the relatives and shrinks, the tribal ring, they rather welcome it: you are quiet and you suffer.
