“Fuck her standing,
Fuck her lying,
Cut her throat and fuck her dying,
Dig her up and fuck her rotten”
Pat Parker

Gerda Lerner
“By making the term "man" subsume "woman" and arrogate to itself the representation of all humanity, men have built a conceptual error of vast proportion into all of their thought. By taking the half for the whole, they have not only missed the essence of whatever they are describing, but they have disroted it in such a fashion that they cannot see it correctly. As long as men believed the earth to be flat, they could not understand its reality, its function, and its actual relationship to other bodies in the universe. As long as men believe their experiences, their viewpoint, and their ideas represent all of human experience and all of human thought, they are not only unable to define correctly in the abstract, but they are unable to describe reality accurately.”
Gerda Lerner, The Creation of Patriarchy

Marguerite Young
“What was the organization of illusion, of memory? Who knew even his own divided heart? Who knew all hearts as his own? Among beings strange to each other, those divided by the long roarings of time, of space, those who have never met or, when they meet, have not recognized as their own the other heart and that heart's weaknesses, have turned stonily away, would there not be, in the vision of some omniscient eye, a web of spidery logic establishing the most secret relationships, deep calling to deep, illuminations of the eternal darkness, recognitions in the night world of voyager dreams, all barriers dissolving, all souls as one and united? Every heart is the other heart. Every soul is the other soul. Every face is the other face. The individual is the one illusion.”
Marguerite Young, Miss MacIntosh, My Darling

“Finally, you might be wondering why we focus our work on white women, rather than men. As Regina says, “If white men wanted to change anything, they’d have done it by now, so why bother trying to get them to do anything.”
Regina Jackson, White Women: Everything You Already Know About Your Own Racism and How to Do Better

“There’s a saying in Germany. If there’s a Nazi at the table and ten other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with eleven Nazis.”
Regina Jackson, White Women: Everything You Already Know About Your Own Racism and How to Do Better
