Sexism Quotes

I mean, what is racism? Racism is a projection of our own fears onto another person. What is sexism? It’s our own vulnerability about our potency and masculinity projected as our need to subjugate another person, you know? Fascism, the same thing: People are trying to untidy our state, so I legislate as a way of controlling my environment Picture Quote #1

Facing sexism and racism and classism and transphobia, there are ways to choose to act in those situations, and there shouldn’t be a prescriptive list of things that you have to say Picture Quote #1

There’s sort of a persistent misperception that talking about race is black folk’s burden. Ultimately, only men can end sexism, and only white people can end racism Picture Quote #1

My own contentious relationship with gaming continued through high school and college: I still enjoyed playing games from time to time, but I always found myself pushed away by the sexism that permeated gaming culture. There were constant reminders that I didn’t really belong Picture Quote #1

... not all black women have silently acquiesced in sexism and misogyny within the African-American community. Indeed, many writers, activists, and other women have voiced their opposition and paid the price: they have been ostracized and branded as either man- haters or pawns of white feminists, two of the more predictable modes of disciplining and discrediting black feminists Picture Quote #1

I know there are fewer women comics, and I think there’ll continue to be an inherent sexism in many industries, comedy being one, just because things do take a while to evolve. Things are changing, but it’s going to take time. I accept this rather than getting angry about it Picture Quote #1

People who are overweight face discrimination. African-Americans face discrimination. Women face discrimination and sexism. So I don’t have the luxury of not being tolerant of anyone Picture Quote #1

When I was trying to get into acting, to have been a model was about as low as you could get in the acting profession. But that wasn’t sexism, it was snobbery, which I knew and took very humbly Picture Quote #1

Humans who see something different than them want to hate it and tear it down. Britain had a government policy that allowed prejudice to destroy someone’s life, and today there is still homophobia at home and elsewhere, like Russia or Greece. It’s still a relevant discussion. While women have it better than the 1940s or 50s, sexism is still prevalent Picture Quote #1

Are you ready to sacrifice to end world hunger? To sacrifice to end colonialism? To end neo-colonialism? To end racism? To end sexism? Picture Quote #1

Together, we came to understand how we beg men to express feelings, but then when men do express feelings, we call it sexism, male chauvinism, or backlash Picture Quote #1

Maybe I’m a bad feminist, but I am deeply committed to the issues important to the feminist movement. I have strong opinions about misogyny, institutional sexism that consistently places women at a disadvantage, the inequity in pay, the cult of beauty and thinness, the repeated attacks on reproductive freedom, violence against women, and on and on. I am as committed to fighting fiercely for equality as I am committed to disrupting the notion that there is an essential feminism Picture Quote #1

Feminism isn’t simply about being a woman in a position of power. It’s battling systemic inequities; it’s a social justice movement that believes sexism, racism and classism exist and interconnect, and that they should be consistently challenged Picture Quote #1

There’s no such thing as sexism against men. That’s because sexism is prejudice power. Men are the dominant gender with power in society Picture Quote #1

Sexism is so five minutes ago. I think for the most part, people accept that women are as competent as men Picture Quote #1

We call for the end of bigotry as we know it. The end of racism as we know it. The end of child abuse in the family as we know it. The end of sexism as we know it. The end of homophobia as we know it. We stand for freedom as we have yet to know it. And we will not be denied Picture Quote #1

I’m beginning to think I have two years encountering sexism without really realising it Picture Quote #1

Sexism, like racism, goes with us into the next century. I see class warfare as overshadowing both Picture Quote #1

Sexism is discounting the female experience of powerlessness; the new sexism is discounting the male experience of powerlessness Picture Quote #1

The rules of sexism do not free men from the terror of violence; they only keep men from complaining about it Picture Quote #1
