Kate Millett
Hostility is expressed in a number of ways. One is laughter.
Kate Millett
Isn't privacy about keeping taboos in their place
Kate Millett
Homosexuality was invented by a straight world dealing with its own bisexuality.
Kate Millett
Because of our social circumstances, male and female are really two cultures and their life experiences are utterly different.
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
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.
Kate Millett
The whole bloody system is sick: the very notion of leadership, a balloon with a face painted upon it, elected and inflated by media's diabolic need to reduce ideas to personalities.
