feminism quotes

I’m pretty opinionated about women. I think we’re capable of so many things, and constantly selling ourselves short. I could go on and on, but I really just wanted to post some good quotes I found:

” Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, ‘She doesn’t have what it takes.’ They will say, ‘Women don’t have what it takes.’

~Clare Boothe Luce

“Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.”

~Timothy Leary

“There are very few jobs that actually require a penis or vagina. All other jobs should be open to everybody.”

~ Florynce Kennedy

“When a woman behaves like a man, why doesn’t she behave like a nice man?”

~ Edith Evans

“Men define intelligence, men define usefulness, men tell us what is beautiful, men even tell us what is womanly.”

~ Sally Kempton

“Feminism is a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.”

~ Pat Robertson

“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.”

~ Eva Burrows

“I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat, or a prostitute.”

~ Rebecca West

“Does being a feminist mean that I believe that I’m as good as any man? Yes.”

~ Yasmine Bleeth
