Democracy is disruptive. Around the world, peaceful protesters are being demonised for this, but there is no right in a democratic civil society to be free of disruption. Protesters ideally should read Gandhi and King and dedicate themselves to disciplined, long-term, non-violent disruption of business as usual - especially disruption of traffic.

When people get this consciousness of the way things are supposed to be in America - that the locus of agency is in them, that they are supposed to be the ones setting the agenda - if people believe this, they get very energized. Yeah, it's annoying to have this extra burden of saving the country.

The Tea Party is not monolithic. There is a battle between people who care about liberty and the Constitution and the Republican Establishment who is trying to take ownership of it and redirect it for its own purposes.

How is it even sustainable in 21st-century America, that women earn, on average, 77 cents for every dollar earned by men?

As women demanded access to power, the power structure used the beauty myth materially to undermine women's advancement.

In 70s America, protest used to be very effective, but in subsequent decades municipalities have sneakily created a web of overpermiticisation - requirements that were designed to stifle freedom of assembly and the right to petition government for redress of grievances, both of which are part of our first amendment.

The beauty myth is always actually prescribing behaviour and not appearance.

Spokespeople sell women the Iron Maiden and name her Health: if public discourse were really concerned with women's health, it would turn angrily upon this aspect of the beauty myth.

Peaceful, lawful protest - if it is effective - IS innately disruptive of “business as usual.” That is WHY it is effective.

A cultural fixation on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty but an obsession about female obedience.

The symbolic value of having an African-American president has certainly eased some racial tensions in America, but they're not gone.

There was a bad patch in the '80s and early '90s when feminist thinking had become sort of a monopoly and had developed a series of litmus tests.

When a leader has deployed a private army, that is one definition of a police state. Another is when the president, or a leader, has his own treasury.
