Quote by Alice Feeney

“Men still rule this world and as a result the world is broken. Men still hold most positions of power, men control governments, men control the media, and it is always men who start wars. Men have tricked women into thinking they see us as equals, but real equality, for all women everywhere, still feels like little more than a pipe dream. The woman on this island have had enough.”

“But by far the worst thing we do to males—by making them feel they have to be hard—is that we leave them with very fragile egos. The harder a man feels compelled to be, the weaker his ego is.

“Catalina deduce que es cosa de la época, de la literatura antigua, el que a una mujer no se la dotara de sentimientos...al menos que fueran divinidades, porque el resto no parecía tener jamás iniciativas ni anhelos. Tampoco ella tiene deseos sexuales hacia nadie, aunque cree que, como los chicos, debería tenerlos. Se pregunta si de algún modo está castrada o es solo una forma de sobrevivir.”

“White supremacy, whether in the US or Europe, is absolutely patriarchal—those far-right parties offer no gender equality...white women who vote for those parties are examples of women who accept crumbs thrown to them in return for limited power in the form of protection and privilege gained via proximity to powerful white men. They whip up xenophobia among white women voters by pitting immigrants against white families, portraying refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants as a drain on resources that should go instead to those white families. They want white women to have more white babies.”

“Not every woman is my ally or my sister simply by virtue of being a woman. We are sisters and comrades when we share a fight against patriarchy. Patriarchy throws all its efforts at disempowering us. I do not consider as a sister or a comrade anyone who aids in that disempowerment.”
