“I consider myself conscious of how women are treated, and sometimes I can be a feminist. Sometimes I'm a little Republican, sometimes I'm a little Democrat. Sometimes I'm angry, sometimes I'm not angry. I'm not a total feminist, but I believe in rights for females. I believe that if we have to pay 100 percent for our college tuition, and then we get into the workplace and we're only given 70 percent of our counterparts' salaries, then we shouldn't have to pay but 70 percent of our college tuition. Maybe that'll stop the bullshit.” BelieveSometimesI BelieveCollegeRepublicanConsciousFemaleDemocratFeministBullshitWorkplaceSelf Conscious Author:Pam Grier

To play one-dimensional, boring failures?” CharacterInterestingConsciousFemaleFeministBoringComplicatedFlawed Author:Elisabeth Moss
