thinking oysters pearls
Now, see there. Just because I'm wearing my Super-Dike sweatshirt, you think I'm a lesbian. I guess if I were wearing a string of pearls, you'd think I was an oyster.
mistake gun thinking
I think unity is a mistake.... If I were the Establishment and had the big loaded guns of the various oppressive institutions....I would much prefer to see one lion come through the door than 500 mice.
men thinking fifty
Any woman who still thinks marriage is a fifty-fifty proposition is only proving that she doesn't understand either men or percentages.
crazy thinking feet
I'm just a loud-mouthed middle-aged colored lady with a fused spine and three feet of intestines missing and a lot of people think I'm crazy. Maybe you do too, but I never stop to wonder why I'm not like other people. The mystery to me is why more people aren't like me.
hate thinking missing
I think we should look forward to death more than we do. Of course everybody hates to go to bed or miss anything, but dying is really the only chance we'll get to rest.
When a system of oppression has become institutionalized it is unnecessary for individuals to be oppressive.
real racism mind
Women are dirt searchers; their greatest worth is irradicating rings on collars and tables. Never mind real-estate boards' corruption and racism, here's your soapsuds. Everything she is doing is peripheral, expendable, crucial, and non-negotiable. Cleanliness is next to godliness.
mother noble doe
Being a mother is a noble status, right? Right. So why does it change when you put 'unwed' or 'welfare' in front of it?
marriage body married
prostitutes don't sell their bodies, they rent their bodies. Housewives sell their bodies when they get married ...
law practice clothes
Here I am a woman attorney being told I can't practice law in slacks by a judge dressed in drag.
doors unity movement
Unity in a Movement situation can be overrated. If you were the Establishment, which would you rather see coming in the door: one lion or five hundred mice?
peace coffee dirty
Countermovements among racists and sexists and nazifiers are just as relentless as dirt on a coffee table. . . . Every housewife knows that if you don't sooner or later dust . . . the whole place will be dirty again.
teamwork fall house
I know we're termites. But if all the termites got together, the house would fall down.
ocean water syrup
You can't dump one cup of sugar into the ocean and expect to get syrup. If everybody sweetened her own cup of water, then things would begin to change.
