For me, to be a feminist is to answer the question 'Are women human?' with a yes.

While woman sheds the Blood of Life each moon at menstruation, man can only shed the blood of death through warfare and killing.

Can currently existing religion be disentangled from the misogyny of its texts, its traditions, and its practices? ... a resounding NO: misogyny not only pervades the major faiths, it's baked in.

Misogyny runs deeper than religion.

When it comes to ideas - and religions are, among other things, ideas - there is no right not to be offended. ... In fact, if you need laws ... to protect your faith, maybe your faith is weak.

We tend to tell strangers what we think will make us sound good. I myself, to my utter amazement, informed a telephone pollster that I exercised regularly, a bare-faced lie.

When your claim to be victims of secularism rests on Wal-Mart greeters wishing shoppers Happy Holidays, you are clearly a bunch of great big babies.

One of the very important ideas of feminism for me has always been women helping and supporting each other.

In a better world, science teachers would teach creationism along with evolution as an exercise in critical thinking.

Every inch of progress is won in struggle.

Ann: You didn’t cause my miscarriages. But you are committed to transforming me to be like you.

I love hockey because of the respect for history and for the game itself.

I hate online bullying. Those little comment boxes can brim with the most vicious, acidic, and pointless remarks.

Advertising is much like war, minus the venom

english doesn't borrow from other languages. english follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

I like living with myself. I mean obviously, because here I am interviewing myself.

Lying is too much trouble. You have to make sure to taste each word before letting it off your tongue. I hate that. It's hard enough making people understand without lying.

I like to get out and get up the court, using my speed and aggressiveness toward the hoop.

I am just an ordinary Catholic.

Some people will of course accuse me of misanthropy and cynicism. I can't celebrate humanity but I'm not out to indict it either. I just want to expose certain truths.
