I never, ever grew up as a young woman believing that my gender would stand in the way of doing anything I wanted.

If we just allowed women and men more leeway in our culture and more acceptance, I think they would be able to make better compromises.

Feminism isn't about hating men. It's about challenging the absurd gender distinctions that boys and girls learn from childhood and carry into their adult lives.

We are people, individuals comprising a variety of sexes, races, shifting sexualities and all the rest of it. Every convention that tries to reinforce this difference is a step back. Notions of gender pointlessly separate men from women, but also mothers from daughters and fathers from sons.

Feminism is an attack on social practices and habits of thought that keep women and men boxed into gender roles that are harmful.
