What, I feel, we ought to mean is something so obvious that it is apt to escape attention altogether, viz: (...) that a woman is just as much an ordinary human being as a man, with the same individual preferences, and with just as much right to the tastes and preferences of an individual. What is repugnant to every human being is to be reckoned always as a member of a class and not as an individual person.","author":"Dorothy L.

It's just like the crow, when it produces white nestlings: it is so stricken by envy, knowing how black it is itself, that it kills its own offspring out of pique.","author":"Moderata Fonte","tags":["crows","dignity","empowerment","envy","feminism","gender","hypocrisy","imagery","inequality","jealousy","men","merits","misogyny","suppression","ugliness","women","worth"],"id":5753,"author_id":"Moderata+Fonte"},{"text":"Misogyny has not been completely wiped out anywhere. Rather, it resides on a spectrum, and our best hope for eradicating it globally is for each of us to expose and to fight against local versions of it, in the understanding that by doing so we advance the global struggle.","author":"Mona Eltahawy","tags":["feminism","misogyny","women-and-men","womens-rights"],"id":11475,"author_id":"Mona+Eltahawy"},{"text":"What’s the worst possible thing you can call a woman? Don’t hold back, now. You’re probably thinking of words like slut, whore, bitch, cunt (I told you not to hold back!), skank. Okay, now, what are the worst things you can call a guy? Fag, girl, bitch, pussy. I’ve even heard the term “mangina.” Notice anything? The worst thing you can call a girl is a girl. The worst thing you can call a guy is a girl.

For if Obama’s reign placed hope in the hearts of the young and instilled in them a belief that differences must be embraced then Hillary’s crushing defeat has awakened them to the harsh realities of a hopeful indifference and raised their voices in opposition of all those ideals that would not only darken their future but the future of the entire world.","author":"Aysha Taryam","tags":["american-politics","american-revolution","barak-obama","diversity","donald-trump","hate-speech","hilary-clinton","misogyny","trump-administration","united-states-of-america","us-elections","us-elections-2016","us-politics","young-america"],"id":37665,"author_id":"Aysha+Taryam"},{"text":"[J]ust the sight of this book, even though it was of no authority, made me wonder how it happened that so many different men – and learned men among them – have been and are so inclined to express both in speaking and in their treatises and writings so many wicked insults about women and their behaviour. Not only one or two ... But, more generally, from the treatises of all philosophers and poets and from all the orators – it would take too long to mention their names – it seems that they all speak from one and the same mouth. Thinking deeply about these matters, I began to examine my character and conduct as a natural woman and, similarly, I considered other women whose company I frequently kept, princesses, great ladies, women of the middle and lower classes, who had graciously told me of their most private and intimate thoughts, hoping that I could judge impartially and in good conscience whether the testimony of so many notable men could be true. To the best of my knowledge, no matter how long I confronted or dissected the problem, I could not see or realise how their claims could be true when compared to the natural behaviour and character of women.","author":"Christine de Pizan","tags":["behaviour","books","character","clichés","conduct","double-standards","empowerment","expectations","feminism","gender","hypocrisy","impartiality","inequality","insults","men","misogyny","morality","preconceptions","prejudice","reality-check","slander","social-norms","stereotypes","women"],"id":42025,"author_id":"Christine+de+Pizan"},{"text":"[I]f you seek in every way to minimise my firm beliefs by your anti-feminist attacks, please recall that a small dagger or knife point can pierce a great, bulging sack and that a small fly can attack a great lion and speedily put him to flight.","author":"Christine de Pizan","tags":["attacks","beliefs","clichés","convictions","dignity","double-standards","feminism","gender","hypocrisy","insults","men","misogyny","preconceptions","prejudice","repartee","self-esteem","self-importance","slander","stereotypes","wit","women"],"id":53673,"author_id":"Christine+de+Pizan"},{"text":"Wherever you find a great man, you will find a great mother or a great wife standing behind him -- or so they used to say.
