Feminist Movement Quotes

Bell Hooks quote: "There will be no mass-based feminist movement as long as..."
There will be no mass-based feminist movement as long as feminist ideas are understood only by a well-educated few. Bell Hooks
Remember that in the early days of the feminist movement, they refused to have a leader; different women would just stand up and speak. The early feminists were very careful to not put what was spontaneously arising back in the old bottle. James Hillman
Bernadine Dohrn quote: "I wish that I had bridged the feminist movement and the..."
I wish that I had bridged the feminist movement and the anti-war movement better than I did. Bernadine Dohrn
My parents demonstrated against the Vietnam war, they were into the civil rights movement, the feminist movement, they started the first vegetarian restaurant in Pittsburgh. Justin Sane
The significance of feminist movement (when it is not co-opted by opportunistic, reactionary forces) is that it offers a new ideological meeting ground for the sexes, a space for criticism, struggle, and transformation. Bell Hooks
The issue of gender was never my biggest concern; my biggest concern was doing good work. When the feminist movement really got going, I wasn't an active part of it because I was more concerned with my own mental pursuits. Patti Smith
I have never experienced racism in the feminist movement, so it concerned me to think that I was unable to see the subject clearly because I came from white, middle-class privilege. Betty Buckley
Tammy Bruce quote: "One of the biggest problems with the modern feminist movement..."
One of the biggest problems with the modern feminist movement is its failure to bring men along with us. Tammy Bruce
Tammy Bruce quote: "Gone are the days when reality fed the feminist movement."
Gone are the days when reality fed the feminist movement. Tammy Bruce
I've never been drawn to the feminist movement. I was brought up to believe that men had little to do with the home or children - except to bring in the money. Beryl Bainbridge
Feminist effort to end patriarchal domination should be of primary concern precisely because it insists on the eradication of exploitation and oppression in the family context and in all other intimate relationships. It is that political movement which most radically addresses the person? the personal? citing the need for the transformation of self, of relationships, so that we might be better able to act in a revolutionary manner, challenging and resisting domination, transforming the world... Bell Hooks
I am a men's liberationist (or "masculist") when men's liberation is defined as equal opportunity and equal responsibility for both sexes. I am a feminist when feminism favors equal opportunities and responsibilities for both sexes. I oppose both movements when either says our sex is THE oppressed sex, therefore, "we deserve rights." That's not gender liberation but gender entitlement. Ultimately, I am in favor of neither a women's movement nor a men's movement but a gender transition movement. Warren Farrell
A writer will write with or without a movement; but at the same time, for Chicano, lesbian, gay and feminist writers-anybody writing against the grain of Anglo misogynist culture-political movements are what have allowed our writing to surface from the secret places in our notebooks into the public sphere. Cherrie Moraga
It is obvious that many women have appropriated feminism to serve their own ends, especially those white women who have been at the forefront of the movement; but rather than resigning myself to this appropriation I choose to re-appropriate the term “feminism,” to focus on the fact that to be “feminist” in any authentic sense of the term is to want for all people, female and male, liberation from sexist role patterns, domination, and oppression. Bell Hooks
It is often falsely assumed, even by feminists, that sexuality is the enemy of the female who really wants to develop these aspects of her personality, and this is perhaps the most misleading aspect of movements like the National Organization of Women. It was not the insistence upon her sex that weakened the American woman student's desire to make something of her education, but the insistence upon a passive sexual role Germaine Greer
