The feminists who said these things are not fringe lunatics in their movement; many are the leaders of their movement. Andrea Dworkin, Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Naomi Wolf were/are some of the top names in feminism.

"[W]e must regain the power of the cvnt."
-- Germaine Greer, Marxist, lecturer at the University of Sydney, lecturer at the University of Cambridge, columnist at The Sunday Times
"If you think you are emancipated, you might consider the idea of tasting your menstrual blood. If it makes you sick, you've got a long way to go, baby."
-- Germaine Greer
"Women have very little idea of how much men hate them."
-- Germaine Greer
"The compelled mother loves her child as the caged bird sings. The song does not justify the cage nor the love the enforcement."
-- Germaine Greer
"Women's liberation, if it abolishes the patriarchal family, will abolish a necessary substructure of the authoritarian state, and once that withers away Marx will have come true willy-nilly, so let's get on with it." -- Germaine Greer
"I believe in permanent revolution."
-- Germaine Greer
"Man made one grave mistake: in answer to vaguely reformist and humanitarian agitation he admitted women to politics and the professions. The conservatives who saw this as the undermining of our civilization and the end of the state and marriage were right after all; it is time for the demolition to begin."
-- Germaine Greer
"What we ought to see in the agonies of puberty is the result of the conditioning that maims the female personality in creating the feminine."
-- Germaine Greer
"I've always thought any sane woman would be a lover of women because loving men is such a mess. I have always wished I'd fall in love with a woman."
-- Germaine Greer
"The surest guide to the correctness of the path that women take is joy in the struggle. Revolution is the festival of the oppressed."

-- Catharine MacKinnon, Marxist, professor of law at the University of Michigan
"All men are rapists and that's all they are"
-- Marilyn French,The Women's Room (Percent of reported rape or near-rape incidents = .07% [FBI Uniform Crime Report list for 1996])
"Marriage as an institution developed from rape as a practice."

"Heterosexual intercourse is the pure, formalized expression of contempt for women's bodies."
-- Andrea Dworkin
"Under patriarchy, every woman's son is her potential betrayer and also the inevitable rapist or exploiter of another woman,"
-- Andrea Dworkin, Liberty, p.58
"Sex and murder are fused in the male consciousness, so that the one without the imminent possibility of the other is unthinkable and impossible."
-- Andrea Dworkin, Letters from a War Zone
"When a woman reaches orgasm with a man she is only collaborating with the patriarchal system, eroticizing her own oppression..."
-- Sheila Jeffreys, lesbian activist, professor of political science at the University of Melbourne, Australia
"It is not only men convicted of rape who believe that the only thing they did that was different from what men do all the time is get caught."

"Men who are unjustly accused of rape can sometimes gain from the experience."
-- Catherine Comins, Vassar College Assistant Dean of Student Life, quoted in Time, 1991
"I feel that 'man-hating' is an honorable and viable political act, that the oppressed have a right to class-hatred against the class that is oppressing them."
-- Robin Morgan, Marxist, editor of MS Magazine
"Female heterosexuality is not a biological drive or an individual women's erotic attraction or attachment to another human animal which happens to be male. Female heterosexuality is a set of social institutions and practices... Those definitions... are about the oppression and exploitation of women."
-- Marilyn Frye, lesbian activist, quote from Willful Virgin: Essays in Feminism, 1976-1992
At the University of Maryland, some female students posted the names of male students selected at random, young men about whom they knew nothing, under the heading "Potential Rapists." The message was that all men are potential rapists, though the men actually named probably did not find much comfort in that...
