“I don’t know what happened through the ’80s, ’90s, and ’00s that took feminism off the table, that made it something that women weren’t supposed to identify with and were supposed to be ashamed of. Feminism is about the fight for equality between the sexes, with equal respect, equal pay, and equal opportunity. At the moment we are still a long way off that.” KnowsWayLongMadeStillsMomentsFightingOpportunitySexPayHappenedFeminismEqualTablesMade ItSupposed To BeAshamed80sLong WayEqual OpportunityEqual PayEqual Respect Author:Keira Knightley

“...I swore I would battle not only for myself but for freedom and opportunity for everything living that wore chains, especially sex chains.

“I am a men's liberationist (or "masculist") when men's liberation is defined as equal opportunity and equal responsibility for both sexes. I am a feminist when feminism favors equal opportunities and responsibilities for both sexes. I oppose both movements when either says our sex is THE oppressed sex, therefore, "we deserve rights." That's not gender liberation but gender entitlement. Ultimately, I am in favor of neither a women's movement nor a men's movement but a gender transition movement.” MenOpportunitySexResponsibilityRightsFeminismMovementEqualDeserveFeministGenderFavorsDefinedLiberationTransitionOppressedEntitlementEqual Opportunity Book:The Myth of Male Power: Why Men Are the Disposable Sex Source: The Myth of Male Power: Why Men Are the Disposable Sex
“The one thing that has changed dramatically when you talk to the people of New Zealand and people from Ireland? They feel a darned-sight better about themselves because they made the decision to do what they've done, and I can say to you, we would feel a bloody darned sight better about ourselves once we get an opportunity to put this [vote on same-sex marriage] out there.” PeopleFeelsMadeI CanDoneOpportunitySexDecisionOne ThingChangedVoteSightIrelandBloodyNew Zealand Author:Tony Abbott
