  • To the OP:
    If you read these quotations, you will probably see why you cannot be understood by people who like feminists. If they see nothing wrong with these ideas, then they will hardly have the capacity to understand what you are talking about.

    "The nuclear family must be destroyed... Whatever its ultimate meaning, the break-up of families now is an objectively revolutionary process." -- Linda Gordon

    "I feel that 'man-hating' is an honorable and viable political act, that the oppressed have a right to class-hatred against the class that is oppressing them." -- Robin Morgan, Ms. Magazine Editor.


    "We can't destroy the inequities between men and women until we destroy marriage." -- Robin Morgan

    "I claim that rape exists any time sexual intercourse occurs when it has not been initiated by the woman, out of her own genuine affection and desire."
    -- Robin Morgan

    From her "The Demon Lover" (NY: Norton & Co., 1989 Morgan doesn't hide her bigotry):

    * p. 229: Sex to this point in my life has been trivial, at best a gesture of tenderness, at worst a chore. I couldn't understand the furor about it.


    "To call a man an animal is to flatter him; he's a machine, a walking dildo."
    -- Valerie Solanas, Authoress of the SCUM Manifesto

    "The male is a domestic animal which, if treated with firmness...can be trained to do most things."
    -- Jilly Cooper, SCUM (Society For Cutting Up Men, started by Valerie Solanas)


    "I want to see a man beaten to a bloody pulp with a high-heel shoved in his mouth, like an apple in the mouth of a pig." -- Andrea Dworkin

    "Marriage as an institution developed from rape as a practice." -- Andrea Dworkin

    "Heterosexual intercourse is the pure, formalized expression of contempt for women's bodies." -- Andrea Dworkin

    Under patriarchy, every woman's son is her potential betrayer and also the inevitable rapist or exploiter of another woman." -- Andrea Dworkin


    "The annihilation of a woman's personality, individuality, will, character, is prerequisite to male sexuality." -- Andrea Dworkin

    "Men are rapists, batterers, plunderers, killers; these same men are religious prophets, poets, heroes, figures of romance, adventure, accomplishment, figures ennobled by tragedy and defeat. Men have claimed the earth, called it 'Her'. Men ruin Her. Men have airplanes, guns, bombs, poisonous gases, weapons so perverse and deadly that they defy any authentically human imagination."
    -- Andrea Dworkin, Pornography: Men Possessing Women

    "The institution of sexual intercourse is anti-feminist" -- Ti-Grace Atkinson

    "When a woman reaches orgasm with a man she is only collaborating with the patriarchal system, eroticizing her own oppression." -- Sheila Jeffrys

    "All sex, even consensual sex between a married couple, is an act of violence perpetrated against a woman." -- Catherine MacKinnon

    "You grow up with your father holding you down and covering your mouth so another man can make a horrible searing pain between your legs."
    -- Catherine MacKinnon (Prominent legal feminist scholar; University of Michigan, & Yale.)


    "The more famous and powerful I get the more power I have to hurt men." -- Sharon Stone; Actress


    "The proportion of men must be reduced to and maintained at approximately 10% of the human race." -- Sally Miller Gearhart, in The Future - If There Is One - Is Female.

    "And if the professional rapist is to be separated from the average dominant heterosexual (male), it may be mainly a quantitative difference."
    -- Susan Griffin, Rape: The All-American Crime.

    "If life is to survive on this planet, there must be a decontamination of the Earth. I think this will be accompanied by an evolutionary process that will result in a drastic reduction of the population of males." --Mary Daly, former Professor at Boston College, 2001.

    "Men who are unjustly accused of rape can sometimes gain from the experience." - Catherine Comins

    • Part II of the grains of feminist wisdom:
      "All patriarchists exalt the home and family as sacred, demanding it remain inviolate from prying eyes. Men want privacy for their violations of women... All women learn in childhood that women as a sex are men's prey."
      -- Marilyn French

      "All men are rapists and that's all they are"
      -- Marilyn French, Authoress; (later, advisoress to Al Gore's Presidential Campaign.)

      "I believe that women have a capacity for understanding and compassion which man structurally does not have, does not have it because he cannot have it. He's just incapable of it."
      -- Barbara Jordan; Former Congresswoman.

      "Probably the only place where a man can feel really secure is in a maximum security prison, except for the imminent threat of release."
      -- Germaine Greer.

      "Men's sexuality is mean and violent, and men so powerful that they can 'reach WITHIN women to ****/construct us from the inside out.' Satan-like, men possess women, making their wicked fantasies and desires women's own. A woman who has sex with a man, therefore, does so against her will, 'even if she does not feel forced.'
      -- Judith Levine, (explicating comment profiling prevailing misandry.)

      "I feel what they feel: man-hating, that volatile admixture of pity, contempt, disgust, envy, alienation, fear, and rage at men. It is hatred not only for the anonymous man who makes sucking noises on the street, not only for the rapist or the judge who acquits him, but for what the Greeks called philo-aphilos, 'hate in love,' for the men women share their lives with--husbands, lovers, friends, fathers, brothers, sons, coworkers."
      -- Judith Levine, Authoress of My Enemy, My love

      "There are no boundaries between affectionate sex and slavery in (the male) world. Distinctions between pleasure and danger are academic; the dirty-laundrylist of 'sex acts'...includes rape, foot binding, fellatio, intercourse, auto eroticism, incest, anal intercourse, use and production of pornography, cunnilingus, sexual harassment, and murder."
      -- Judith Levine; summarizing comment on the WAS document, (A southern Women's Writing Collective: Women Against Sex.)

      "All men are good for is ****ing, and running over with a truck".
      Statement made by A University of Maine Feminist Administrator, quoted by Richard Dinsmore, who brought a successful civil suit against the University in the amount of $600,000. Richard had protested the quote; was dismissed thereafter on the grounds of harassment; and responded by bringing suit against the University. 1995 settlement.

      "Women have their faults / men have only two: / everything they say / everything they do."
      -- Popular Feminist Graffiti

      "Men, as a group, tend to be abusive, either verbally, sexually or emotionally. There are always the exceptions, but they are few and far between (I am married to one of them). There are different levels of violence and abuse and individual men buy into this system by varying degrees. But the male power structure always remains intact."
      Message on FEMISA, responding to a request for arguments that men are unnecessary for a child to grow into mature adulthood.

      Another posting on FEMISA: "Considering the nature and pervasiveness of men's violence, I would say that without question, children are better off being raised without the presence of men. Assaults on women and children are mostly perpetrated by men whom they are supposed to love and trust: fathers, brothers, uncles, grandfathers, step-fathers."
      Both quotes taken from Daphne Patai's excellent critical work, Heterophobia

      "We are, as a sex, infinitely superior to men." -- Elizabeth Cady Stanton

      From 'A feminist Dictionary; ed. Kramarae and Triechler, Pandora Press, 1985:

      MALE:...represents a variant of or deviation from the category of female. The first males were mutants...the male sex represents a degeneration and deformity of the female.

      MAN:...an obsolete life form... an ordinary creature who needs to be watched...a contradictory baby-man...

      TESTOSTERONE POISONING: ... 'Until now it has been though that the level of testosterone in men is normal simply because they have it. But if you consider how abnormal their behavior is, then you are led to the hypothesis that almost all men are suffering from "testosterone poisoning."

      And homework for those who support feminism and who cannot understand how it is possible to be repulsed by this hideous ideology: read the quotations above so that you know what you are subscribing to. And try to separate which quotations were made by the real feminists.

      • But I read those ridiculous quotes you posted, and I'm still a feminist. And I still don't hate men. I can't believe something went wrong in your brilliant plan to wake us all up to the horrors of feminism. I can't believe posting all those compelling quotes didn't work. Lol, you're adorable. Don't worry, someday life will be over and your brain won't feel so tired all the time anymore. Poor you.

        • It is no surprise that you are a feminist. Something went wrong in your brain and in your genitals. It happens. Do not worry, someday you will be six feet under ground and you will not be so stupid anymore. Bitch!
          BTW: It is nice to see that you created this new account because of my post.
