“All men are selfish, brutal and inconsiderate–and I wish I could find one.”
— Shulamith Firestone
“In the radical feminist view, the new feminism is not just the revival of a serious political movement for social equality. It is the second wave of the most important revolution in history. Its aim: the overthrow of the oldest, most rigid class/caste system in existence, the class system based on sex – a system consolidated over thousands of years, lending the archetypal male and female roles and undeserved legitimacy and seeming permanence.”
— Shulamith Firestone
“…the end goal of feminist revolution must be…not just the elimination of male privilage but of the sex distinction itself: genital differences between human beings would no longer matter culturally.”
— Shulamith Firestone
