How will we know when women have achieved equality? Sister Chittister responds, "We’ll know that we’re finally equal when our klutzes are promoted to high-paying executive positions as fast and as equal in number as their klutzes are.”
With his signature resolve, former US president Jimmy Carter dives into three unexpected reasons why the mistreatment of women and girls continues in so many manifestations in so many parts of the world, both developed and developing. The final reason he gives? “In general, men don’t give a damn.”
"If choice is going to continue to be a valuable part of feminist discourse and a foundation for activism, we need to start thinking of it in collective, rather than individualistic, terms." ~Meghan Murphey

"Whatever contempt the human race may have merited in the past and may have brought upon itself, we are not destined to live by the traditions which perpetuate it. We cannot capitulate to the liberal dogma which treats as normal and neutral the volitional debasement and humiliation of one human being by another." ~Hilde Hein, "Sadomasochism and the Liberal Tradition"

"News agencies around the world are carrying the story of a young German woman, a qualified information technologist, who has been told that she faces suspension of her government relief benefits if she refuses to take a ‘job’ as a prostitute in a Berlin brothel.” ~Link
Rape
"It was left to second-wave feminism to address rape in all its complexity, to understand that women's sexual vulnerability was tied to economic inequality as well as political inequality....each generation has tried to redefine rape within the political culture of its time." ~Harvard University Press
Feminism and the MRM
"This Thing About Male Victims" "Women overestimate their own use of violence but underestimate their victimisation. Women normalise, discount, minimise, excuse their partners’ domestic and sexual violence against them. Women find ways to make it their fault.
In contrast, men overestimate their victimisation and underestimate their own violence. Men are more likely to exaggerate a women’s provocation or violence to make excuses for initiating violence and, where retaliation has occurred, in an attempt to make it appear understandable and reasonable." ~Karen Ingala Smith
