"If I had to name a single quality characteristic of patriarchy, it would be compartmentalization, the capacity for institutionalizing disconnection. Intellect severed from emotion. Thought separated from action. Science split from art.
The earth itself divided—national borders.... The personal isolated from the political. Sex divorced from love…Law detached from justice…If I had to name a single quality characteristic of global feminism, it would be connectivity—a capacity dangerous to every status quo, because of its insistence on noticing.” - Robin Morgan

"Because there is now upon us yet another massive wave of male interference, and it is coming, this time, from both gay men and their straight brothers. Boys will be boys, the old saying goes—and boys will indulge in that little thing called male bonding—and all boys in patriarchal culture have more options and power than do any women." - Robin Morgan
"The subtlest and most vicious aspect of women's oppression is that we have been conditioned to believe we are not oppressed, blinded so as not to see our own condition." - Robin Morgan

"The women's movement is a non-hierarchical one. It does things collectively and experimentally."
