There is bias and sexism ever...

There is bias and sexism everywhere, just like there are problems of racism and homophobia stemming from the whole notion that we're arranged in a hierarchy, that we're ranked rather than linked.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

There are many ways of supporting gender equality, from something as simple as paid sick leave and flexible work hours to attributing an economic value to all care-giving, and making that amount tax deductible.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

It's going to take a while be...

It's going to take a while because for the last 500 years patriarchal societies have been devoted to controlling reproduction and that means controlling women. So we got into this masculine/feminine, dominant/passive paradigm, and it's going to take a while to get out.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

The human body is not obscene...

The human body is not obscene, sexuality is not obscene. But it [pornography] is not sex, it is violence. It encourages acceptance of the idea that violence is a legitimate part of sexuality.

The voting booth is the only place that a pauper equals a billionaire, and any woman equals any man.

Housewives are dependent creatures who are still children…parasites.

If men menstruated, they would brag about how much and for how long.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

Probably those three things a...

Probably those three things affect the most people: reproductive freedom, freedom from violence, and democratic families. But there may well be someone sitting at this table who has a great idea to do something else that wouldn't come under those umbrellas and that would really be great, and make all kinds of change.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

If we keep on talking about m...

If we keep on talking about masculine and feminine and following those stereotypes, then we will make women suppress and despise their so called masculine qualities and men suppress and despise their so called feminine ones, and that's where all the trouble starts.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

The U.S. has more guns per capita and supplies more guns to the world than any other country. What would be a fistfight without guns turns into dead bodies with them. Families with guns in the house are more likely to shoot themselves accidentally than to shoot any intruder. Women abused by their partners have a five-fold increased risk of being killed when their partner owns a gun. Every three hours, at least one child is wounded or killed by gunfire.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

Women fear endangering men's approval so much, we don't even wait for them to say no. Or else we protect them, even if it means saying no to ourselves.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

Oppression has no logic--just a self-fulfilling prophecy, justified by a self-perpetuating system.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

What would happen if we listened to children as much as we talked to them?

At my graduation, I thought we had to marry what we wished to become. Now you are becoming the men you once would have wished to marry.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

The power of the state stops at our skins. They can't restrict contraception [or] abortion. They can't take our kidneys. Bodily integrity is a principle.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

the less powerful group usually knows the powerful one much better than vice versa - blacks have had to understand whites in order to survive, women have had to know men - yet the powerful group can afford to regard the less powerful one as a mystery.

We're changing ourselves to fit the world instead of changing the world to fit women.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

If technology and medicine ar...

If technology and medicine are used by women to have children or not to have children or to have healthier children - that's one thing. But if it's used to say, 'You're not a real woman unless you have a child, therefore take all these dangerous hormones and have one at 54," then it's another story.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

Allowing women the power to d...

Allowing women the power to decide when and whether to have children is the only way to solve the 7 billion human load on this planet that threatens to destroy it. Women's equality is also men's survival.

Gloria Steinem 568 quotes

Women tend to be conservative...

Women tend to be conservative in youth and get more radical as they get older because they lose power with age. So, if a young woman is not a feminist, I say, just wait.
