More quotes by Phyllis Chesler
Women must begin to save themselves and their daughters before they save their husbands and their sons before they save the whole world.
Phyllis Chesler
For most women, being seen, having others pay attention to you, is imagined and experienced as more desirable and more powerful than commanding an army or seizing control of the means of production and reproduction.
Phyllis Chesler
If it were natural for father to care for their sons, they would not need so many laws commanding them to do so.
Phyllis Chesler
Good people in the West have often failed to distinguish between Islam and Islamism.
Phyllis Chesler
All men are not rapists - but almost all rapists are men.
Phyllis Chesler
Goddesses never die. They slip in and out of the world's cities, in and out of our dreams, century after century, answering to different names, dressed differently, perhaps even disguised, perhaps idle and unemployed, their official altars abandoned, their temples feared or simply forgotten.
Phyllis Chesler
Most mother-women give up whatever ghost of a unique and human self they may have when they 'marry' and raise children.
Phyllis Chesler
Jews have always yearned for Jerusalem, from which they'd been exiled many times, but they also yearned for each and every one of the countries where they had been persecuted and where their ancestors once lived and are still buried.
Phyllis Chesler
How sad that men would base an entire civilization on the principle of paternity, upon the legal owership and presumed responsibility for children, and then never really get to know their sons and daughters very well.
Phyllis Chesler
I am not saying that a female-dominated or Amazon society based on the oppression of men is any more just than is a male-dominated society based on the oppression of women. I am merely pointing out in what ways it is better for women. [ΒΆ] Perhaps someday a choice between forms of injustice will not be necessary.
Phyllis Chesler
Time is life. Anyone who wastes my time is killing me. Please don't!
Phyllis Chesler
Many 'natural' events - like early death, disease, hardship - are neither desirable nor necessary.
