Feminism is a stick with which to beat other women with. It’s about oppression, it’s about hatred, it’s about harming men. I really don’t know what my tits have to do with it. It’s very confusing.”

“It just always reveals to me how many misconceptions and what a misunderstanding there is about what feminism is. Feminism is about giving women choice.
