Feminism Quotes

People have accepted the media’s idea of what feminism is, but that doesn’t mean that it’s right or true or real. Feminism is not monolithic. Within feminism, there is an array of opinions Picture Quote #1

My feminism is humanism, with the weakest being those who I represent, and that includes many beings and life forms, including some men Picture Quote #1

And the first commandment of feminism is: I am woman; thou shalt not tolerate strange gods who assert that women have capabilities or often choose roles that are different from men’s Picture Quote #1

Feminism is doomed to failure because it is based on an attempt to repeal and restructure human nature Picture Quote #1

To recommend that women become identical to men, would be simple reversal, and would defeat the whole point of androgyny, and for that matter, feminism: in both, the whole point is choice Picture Quote #1

There’s a side of me that dislikes feminism. I think we surrendered something and women were unable to reveal any kind of vulnerability Picture Quote #1

He travels fastest who travels alone, and that goes double for she. Real feminism is spinsterhood Picture Quote #1

I am much more open about categories of gender, and my feminism has been about women’s safety from violence, increased literacy, decreased poverty and more equality Picture Quote #1

Since I loved underground music, I tried to carve a space for feminism within it. Those were my hopes Picture Quote #1

I was trying to uphold what I thought feminism was as best I could by supporting women, by trying to create an opportunity to get women to get together, play music together and celebrate the fact that we are having great success making music on our own and together Picture Quote #1

A revolutionary in every bedroom cannot fail to shake up the status quo. And if it is your wife that is revolting, you can’t just split to the suburbs. Feminism, when it truly achieves it’s goals, will crack through the most basic structures of our society Picture Quote #1

I don’t need to convince men that feminism is important, that just isn’t a goal of mine. I can’t even have that conversation of whether or not it’s important, because if someone asks me that... I don’t want to have a conversation with them until they grow up Picture Quote #1

What is feminism? Simply the belief that women should be as free as men, however nuts, dim, deluded, badly dressed, fat, receding, lazy and smug they might be. Are you a feminist? Hahaha. Of course you are Picture Quote #1

I feel that faith and feminism have a deep relationship to each other and that both are responses to the deep human yearning for connection and for peace on earth, and that they both have a vision of universal human equity Picture Quote #1

Feminism is to sexism what black nationalism is to racism; the most rational response to the problem Picture Quote #1

A backlash against women’s rights is nothing new. Indeed it’s a recurring phenomenon: it returns every time women begin to make some headway towards equality, a seemingly inevitable early frost to the brief flowerings of feminism Picture Quote #1

We have to be careful in this era of radical feminism, not to emphasize an equality of the sexes that leads women to imitate men to prove their equality. To be equal does not mean you have to be the same Picture Quote #1

I don’t know why people are so reluctant to say they’re feminists. Could it be any more obvious that we still live in a patriarchal world when feminism is a bad word? Picture Quote #1

I think transwomen, and transpeople in general, show everyone that you can define what it means to be a man or woman on your own terms. A lot of what feminism is about is moving outside of roles and moving outside of expectations of who and what you’re supposed to be to live a more authentic life Picture Quote #1

I hate how box office failures are blamed on an actress, yet I don’t see a box office failure blamed on men. I think a lot of the time in films, men get roles where they create their own destiny and women are just tools, supporters for that. I guess it’s because we live in a patriarchal society, where feminism is a dirty word Picture Quote #1

I believe in art that is connected to real human feeling, that extends itself beyond the limits of the art world to embrace all people who are striving for alternatives in an increasingly dehumanized world. I am trying to make art that relates to the deepest and most mythic concerns of human kind and I believe that, at this moment of history, feminism is humanism Picture Quote #1

Men have influenced my activism and feminism both positively and negatively. As most gender differences are social, not genetic, we still need to change what we do and what we expect of each other... The potential exists for societies where men and women do not have to conform to unwanted stereotypes Picture Quote #1

Feminism is built on believing women’s accounts of sexual use and abuse by men Picture Quote #1

Feminism is a belief that although women and men are inherently of equal worth, most societies privilege men as a group. As a result, social movements are necessary to achieve political equality between women and men, with the understanding that gender always intersects with other social hierarchies Picture Quote #1

That is why I have called feminism nihilism. It says that being a woman is nothing definite and that the duty of women is to advance that nothingness as a cause Picture Quote #1

Radical feminist theorists do not seek to make gender a bit more flexible, but to eliminate it. They are gender abolitionists, and understand gender to provide the framework and rationale for male dominance. In the radical feminist approach, masculinity is the behaviour of the male ruling class and femininity is the behaviour of the subordinate class of women. Thus gender can have no place in the egalitarian future that feminism aims to create Picture Quote #1

Feminism is dead in the world. It comes from another time. I’m a feminist. I want to fight, but I don’t see many people with this desire to fight for something. Women don’t help each other, especially in fashion Picture Quote #1

Women, who are the prime victims of religion, and perhaps in some, stockholm syndrome effect, often form the most fervent advocates of the very thing that degrades them. I believe that in the end, it will be women who will turn this around. This should be the final stage of feminism. For a feminist to still believe in God is like a freed slave still living on the plantation Picture Quote #1

My informal writing style is a political choice, because I want feminism to be more accessible Picture Quote #1

The enemy of feminism isn’t men. It’s patriarchy, and patriarchy is not men. It is a system, and women can support the system of patriarchy just as men can support the fight for gender equality Picture Quote #1
