The Backlash! - July 1996
Feminism Unclothed
Where we turn the soapbox over to the feminists, themselves.
A major purpose of femininity is to mystify or minimize the
functional aspects of a woman's mind and body that are indistinguishable from a
man's, and our legs have borne the brunt of this more than we care to
acknowledge.
-- Susan Brownmiller, Femininity
The brilliance of objectification as a strategy of dominance is
that it gets the woman to take the initiative in her own degradation (having less
freedom is degrading).
-- Andrea Dworkin, Intercourse
When we think of what it is that politicizes people it is not so
much books or ideas but experience.
-- Irene Peslikis, Resistances to Consciousness
