Quote by Geoff Olton

“Why should you hate me, who you do not know? First learn who I am, and then if you have reason, let hate come to the fore. This phrase appeared in my brain after waking from very clear dream in which I was asked in a very nasty manner if I hated the Jewish people, replied to with a straight out “No, I do not.” (See: “Living with ‘the other’” in my blog.)”

“The feminism that has mattered to the media and made magazine headlines in recent years has been the feminism most useful to heterosexual, high-earning middle- and upper-middle-class white women. Public ‘career feminists’ have been more concerned with getting more women into 'boardrooms’, when the problem is that there are altogether too many boardrooms, and none of them are on fire.”

“Women in general, and African American women in particular, are still separated by a veil, albeit an invisible one. As long as women are divided by dichotomies that stem from gender oppression, e.g., virgin versus whore, respectable versus unrespectable, and, ultimately, wife versus the other woman, all of which puts women in competition for men, they will not be able to effectively challenge the structures that support some while not supporting others, and in some cases, even exploiting them.”
