Naomi Wolf
Women who love themselves are threatening but men who love real women, more so.
Naomi Wolf
Protesters should make their own media and not rely on mainstream media to cover them.
Naomi Wolf
I met Muslim immigrants in Brooklyn who were swept up in 9-11 raids, held in abusive conditions, beaten, denied rights. That's how things started in Germany. Guantanamo was modeled after what Stalin developed for the Gulag.
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
The beauty myth is always actually prescribing behaviour and not appearance.
Naomi Wolf
I'll go anywhere to talk about the Constitution. I believe in trans-partisan organizing around these issues.
Naomi Wolf
With the Internet there is even more fractioning since we are in echo chambers. With so much propaganda it is hard to calm down enough to listen.
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
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.
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
We need people to be alert and thinking for themselves and connected to each other and connected to that sense of hope and empowerment and radical chutzpah that the founding generation had and intended us to have.
Naomi Wolf
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.
Naomi Wolf
To find freedom and happiness in each others' arms, or you know, inside their own bodies and minds. That is a very empowering thing in a society that's trying to control us all the time.
Naomi Wolf
How is it even sustainable in 21st-century America, that women earn, on average, 77 cents for every dollar earned by men?
Naomi Wolf
At least a third of a woman's life is marked with aging about a third of her body is made of fat. Both symbols are being transformed into operable condition
Naomi Wolf
It is fairly well-known what has been behind that climate change denial in America: vast sums pumped into an ignorance industry by the oil and gas lobbies.
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.
Naomi Wolf
What becomes of a man who acquires a beautiful woman, with her 'beauty' his sole target? He sabotages himself. He has gained no friend, no ally, no mutual trust: She knows quite well why she has been chosen. He has succeeded in buying something: the esteem of other men who find such an acquisition impressive.

I'm asking people to think critically and not to be lazy in their thinking.
