The symbolic value of having an African-American president has certainly eased some racial tensions in America, but they're not gone.
Naomi Wolf
Women have face-lifts in a society in which women without them appear to vanish from sight.
Naomi Wolf
I've never understood this puritanical idea that feminism has to be a cult. You know, we all have to think alike or dress alike or have a similar ideology.

Why am I voting for Obama? Obama, of all the candidates, is the only one of the major candidates - even more than Hillary Clinton, when they were running against each other - to speak in favor of the defense of the Constitution and the separation of powers.
Naomi Wolf
It is foolish for people to think they can align themselves and be safe in a police state.

To me, my version of feminism, it's co-extensive with human rights and democracy. It's just part of the same fight for everyone being free, and having autonomy and dignity. It's not pitting one gender against another, it's not saying anything is better, it's just clearing away injustice.
Naomi Wolf
The beauty myth moves for men as a mirage its power lies in its ever-receding nature. When the gap is closed, the lover embraces only his own disillusion.
Naomi Wolf
The real fight isn't left or right but between forces of democracy across the spectrum and the forces of tyranny.
Naomi Wolf
Protesters should make their own media and not rely on mainstream media to cover them.
Naomi Wolf
I don't think we've got the concept in the West that male desire degrades men. Or that if men become sexually active, they become debased in some way, or slutty. Or lose status.
Naomi Wolf
Beauty discrimination has become necessary, not from the perception that women will not be good enough, but that they will be, as they have been, twice as good.
Naomi Wolf
The economics of industrialized countries would collapse if women didn't do the work they do for free: According to economist Marilyn Waring, throughout the West it generates between 25 and 40 percent of the gross national product.
Naomi Wolf
A cultural fixation on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty but an obsession about female obedience.
Naomi Wolf
Become goddesses of disobedience.

What editors are obliged to appear to say that men want from women is actually what their advertisers want from women.

Kim Kardashian's marriage to Kris Humphries famously lasted 72 days, and was reported in the tabloids as being all about the big bucks paid by magazines for the bridal photos: it is a spectacle of a bride-to-be as entrepreneur, not as romantic heroine the groom, in this scenario, is nothing but a prop.

Beauty provokes harassment, the law says, but it looks through men's eyes when deciding what provokes it.
