Right-Wing Women
"This is not a liberal mandate to ignore what is cruel, despicable, or stupid in women, nor is it a mandate to ignore dangerous political ideas or allegiances of women. This does not mean women first, women best, women only. It does mean that the fate of every individual woman -- no matter what her politics, character, values, qualities -- is tied to the fate of all women whether she likes it or not."
The Hidden Face of Eve
"The woman's problem lies in the fact that her body, or more precisely her womb, is the only receptacle within which human life can be reproduced. The state [...] has been obliged to extend its control and subjugation to women's bodies. The woman has therefore lost real ownership of her own body...."
S.C.U.M. Manifesto
"Being an incomplete female, the male spends his life attempting to complete himself, to become female. He attempts to do this by [...] claiming as his own all female characteristics - emotional strength and independence, forcefulness, dynamism, decisiveness, coolness, objectivity, assertiveness, courage, integrity, vitality, intensity, depth of character, grooviness...."
The Creation of Patriarchy
"By making the term "man" subsume "woman" and arrogate to itself the representation of all of humanity, men have built a conceptual error of vast proportion into all of their thought. By taking the half for the whole, they have not only missed the essence of whatever they are describing, but they have distorted it in such a fashion that they cannot see it correctly."
Againt Our Will
"After a thunderbolt of recognition that this [...] was not the Homo sapiens with whom she would like to freely join parts, it might have been she, and not some man, who picked up the first stone and hurled it. [...] Fleet of foot and spirited, she would have kicked, bitten, pushed and run, but she could not retaliate in kind."
Woman's Evolution
"Women have always borne children, but there was a time when this did not interfere with their economic independence, as their productive record shows. [...] Women were not always beholden to husbands and fathers; before marriage and the family existed, their coworkers were the brothers and mothers' brothers of the clan."
Being and Being Bought
"Prostitution is, in reality, very simple. It is sex between two people - between one who wants it and one who doesn't. Since desire is absent, payment takes its place."
Beauty and Misogyny
"When masculinity and femininity are understood to be the behaviors of dominance and subordination it does not make much sense to expect any aspects of these behaviors to survive the destruction of male dominance."
A History of Women Philosophers: 600 BC - 500 AD
"[A]re there many more works by women philosophers to be found? Probably. How well integrated into the philosophical circles of their times were these women? Were they listened to by men who styled themselves philosophers? Did they influence them, and in what ways did male philosophers take their views into account?"
Delusions of Gender
"But also, to those interested in gender equality there is nothing at all frightening about good science. It is only carelessly done science, or poorly interpreted science, or the neurosexism it feeds, that creates cause for concern."
Invisible Women
"To distort a reality you are supposedly trying to measure makes sense only if you don't see women as essential. It makes sense only if you see women as an added extra, a complicating factor. It doesn't make sense if you're talking about half the human race. It doesn't make sense if you care about accurate data."
How to Suppress Women's Writing
"If you don't like my book, write your own.
Please!
But remember, one can't get minority work into the canon by pretending it's about the same things or uses the same techniques as majority work. It probably isn't and doesn't. It may very well look like nothing ever before seen on earth."
Women's Work: The First 20,000 Years
"Women's work consisted largely of making perishables- especially food and clothing. So if we are to retrieve significant amounts of women's history [...] we need better evidence than just that which falls into our laps. We need the skill to glean all surviving evidence and to wring out of it every last drop of information and useful analysis."
Intercourse
"It is the best system of colonization on earth; she takes on the burden, the responsibility, of her own submission, her own objectification. In some systems in which turning the female into an object for sex requires actual terrorism and maiming - for instance, footbinding or removing the clitoris - the mother does it, having had it done to her by her mother...."
