The media needs to tell a story. And whenever there's a new generation, you know, with a new conversation, it's handy to say well, these are the angry young men, these are the hippies, these are the boomers.

More quotes by Naomi Wolf
Millions of people have to restore liberty and have to understand the danger and personal risk they face in a police state.
Naomi Wolf
A culture fixation on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty but an obsession about female obedience. Dieting is the most potent political sedative in women’s history a quietly mad population is a tractable one.
Naomi Wolf
We need to get back into grappling with people we disagree with if we want to restore the Republic.
Naomi Wolf
Pain is real when you get other people to believe in it. If no one believes in it but you, your pain is madness or hysteria or your own unfeminine inadequacy. Women have learned to submit to pain by hearing authority figures - doctors, priests, psychiatrists - tell us that what we feel is not pain.
Naomi Wolf
Peaceful, lawful protest - if it is effective - IS innately disruptive of “business as usual.” That is WHY it is effective.
Naomi Wolf
What editors are obliged to appear to say that men want from women is actually what their advertisers want from women.
Naomi Wolf
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
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.
Naomi Wolf
I am delighted to be joining 'Guardian U.S.''s team as a weekly columnist, and to have the chance to address American and global current events on its distinguished platform. 'Guardian U.S.' brings the 'Guardian''s hard-hitting investigative brand to a new focus on American news and opinion.
Naomi Wolf
I don't want to overstate tantra because I'm sure there are scumbags everywhere, but it seems like it's an ideology that actually respects female desire.
Naomi Wolf
Aging in women is 'unbeautiful' since women grow more powerful with time, and since the links between generations of women must always be broken.
Naomi Wolf
If people are taking my book seriously and organizing, getting into office, caring about the constitution, and not waiting for someone else to lead them, I think, God bless them. All of us should be doing that. The left should be doing that.
Naomi Wolf
Become goddesses of disobedience.
Naomi Wolf
I'll go anywhere to talk about the Constitution. I believe in trans-partisan organizing around these issues.
Naomi Wolf
The reason I'm voting for Barack Obama is that it's either him or a police state - someone who's carrying on policies that are clearly stated and directed at subverting liberty. He's definitely the lesser of two evils.
Naomi Wolf
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.
Naomi Wolf
My job is to notice echoes and notice resonances. Scientists are not supposed to do the same thing that cultural critics do.

It's human nature to abuse power, no matter who you are.
Naomi Wolf
For I conclude that the enemy is not lipstick, but guilt itself that we deserve lipstick, if we want it, AND free speech we deserve to be sexual AND serious--or whatever we please we are entitled to wear cowboy boots to our own revolution.
