"We will never be free unless women are not any longer treated as objects which includes sexual objects. We are human beings, we are the center of our own lives. We are not things for men to act out on. We will never be free unless we stop the notion that we have in the United States that violence is okay." --Andrea Dworkin |
Sarah Haggard's Second Favorite Andrea Dworkin Quote
| "Nobody has a right to control another human being through violence. And we can't continue to sanction violence as a way of solving problems."
--Andrea Dworkin |
Sarah Haggard's Third Favorite Andrea Dworkin Quote
| "A woman has been told that all of her life, basically that she is responsible for the behaviors of the men around her, and therefore, when this is happening to her there is an internalized part that we all have--and I don't care what your ideology is, I don't care how militantly feminist or not you are, I don't care how deeply religious you are--there is a part that says it's my fault."
--Andrea Dworkin Sarah Haggard adds: The last quote is the most liberating message a woman can receive--that we are not responsible for the behaviors of anyone. This message should be imprinted on applications for marriage licenses, publicized by women's organizations, taught in schools and churches. |
Sarah Haggard's Fourth Favorite Andrea Dworkin Quote
| "We have a double standard, which is to say, a man can show how much he cares by being violent--see, he's jealous, he cares--a woman shows how much she cares by how much she's willing to be hurt; by how much she will take; how much she will endure; how suicidal she's prepared to be."
