Quotes by Emer O'Toole (?)

“our society is unequal, and bodily difference is used to justify that inequality.”
― Emer O'Toole, Girls Will Be Girls: Dressing Up, Playing Parts and Daring to Act Differently

tags: bodies, feminism, inequality, intersexuality

“Agency refers to the individual – to the choices she makes. Structure refers to society – to the context that produced the individual, and in which she continues to act. Which of these factors most determines the person I am and the behaviours I perform?”
― Emer O'Toole, Girls Will Be Girls: Dressing Up, Playing Parts and Daring to Act Differently

“Make-up shouldn't signify frivolity any more than a closely shaved chin or a well-trimmed beard. The problem is not skirts, stilettos or other symbols of femininity; rather, it's what the symbols of femininity mean in our sexist culture.”
― Emer O'Toole, Girls Will Be Girls: Dressing Up, Playing Parts and Daring to Act Differently
