“My original goal in the '90s, after I found feminism and I was the first generation in my family to go to college, was to spread this information that feminism was still very much alive, and that you can't believe the media telling you that it doesn't need to exist and that it doesn't exist.” NeedsFirstsBelieveStillsFoundGoalAliveGenerationsFeminismMediaInformationCollegeMy FamilyOriginalsSpread Author:Kathleen Hanna
“At the demonstration of sixty feminists against the Miss America Pageant in 1968, when the women filled a trash can with bras, girdles, curlers and spike-heeled shoes, the bra-burning myth was launched by the media and, in spite of its inaccuracy and spiteful intent, put radical feminism on the map.” AmericaFeminismMediaMissingFilledShoesFeministMythRadicalBurningSpiteMapsSixtyTrashDemonstrationRadical FeminismBrasPageantSpitefulGirdlesMiss AmericaTrash Cans Author:Hilda Scott

“As all advocates of feminist politics know most people do not understand sexism or if they do they think it is not a problem. Masses of people think that feminism is always and only about women seeking to be equal to men. And a huge majority of these folks think feminism is anti-male.

“Will his work survive? Alas, I worry that it will not. As an American liberal with impeccable credentials, I would like to say that political correctness is going to kill American liberalism if it is not fought to the death by people like me for the dangers it represents to free speech, to the exchange of ideas, to openheartedness, or to the spirit of art itself. Political correctness has a stranglehold on academia, on feminism, and on the media. It is a form of both madness and maggotry, and has already silenced the voices of writers like James Dicky across the land.” PeopleIfsArtIdeasFormPoliticalSpiritVoiceWorryFeminismLandMediaDangerSpeechMadnessLike MeLiberalismFree SpeechAlasPolitical CorrectnessAcademiaCorrectnessImpeccableCredentials Author:Pat Conroy
