Цитаты из произведения Right-Wing Women: The Politics of Domesticated Females

Liberal men and women ask, Why can’t we just be our­ selves, all human beings, begin now and not dwell in past in­ justices, wouldn’t that subvert the sex-class system, change it from the inside out? The answer is no. The sex-class system has a struc­ ture; it has deep roots in religion and culture; it is fundamental to the…

Anti­ feminism proposes two standards for rights and responsibilities: two standards determined strictly by and applied strictly to sex. Feminism as the liberation movement of women proposes one ab­ solute standard of human dignity, indivisible by sex. In this sense, feminism does propose—as antifeminists accuse—that men…

Virtually all ideologies are implicitly antifeminist in that women are sacrificed to higher goals: the higher goal of reproduction; the higher goal of pleasure; the higher goal of a freedom antipathetic to the freedom of women; the higher goal of better conditions for workers not women; the higher goal of a new order that…

No one can defend or give aid and comfort to that which keeps women subordinate and at the same time claim to be acting in behalf of women’s liberation: feminism is not a lifestyle or an attitude or a feeling of vague sympathy with women or an assertion of modernity.

What is that common condition? Subordinate to men, sexually colonized in a sexual system of dominance and submission, denied rights on the basis of sex, historically chattel, generally considered biologically inferior, confined to sex and reproduction: this is the general description of the social environment in which all…

There is no real feminism that does not have at its heart the tem­ pering discipline of sex-class consciousness: knowing that women share a common condition as a class, like it or not.

Two elements constitute the discipline of feminism: political, ideological, and strategic confrontation with the sex-class system— with sex hierarchy and sex segregation—and a single standard of human dignity.

Separate- but-equal, woman-superior, and male-dominant antifeminism can even be used sequentially as one whole argument for the practice of male supremacy: men and women have different capacities and dif­ ferent areas of responsibility according to sex but their functions and attributes are of equal importance; women are…

The three social models of antifeminism—the separate-but-equal model, the woman-superior model, and the male-dominant model —are not inimical to one another. They mix and match with per­ fect ease, since logic and consistency are not prerequisites for keep­ ing women down: no one need prove his case to justify the…

The female is seen to have power over the man—and responsibility for what he has done to her—because he wanted her so bad: she has provoked whatever desire motivated him to act. His desire is what gives her power. Her power is in her sexual nature, her existence as a woman to which he responds—not in her behavior. For…
