"As women, non-violence must begin for us in the refusal to be violated, in the refusal to be victimized. ...We must not accept...male notions of what non-violence is. These notions never condemned systematic violence against women. -- Andrea Dworkin
"If I hated men, I would treat men the way men treat women." --Beth Chamberlin
When we hear jokes against women, and we are asked why we don't laugh at them,
the answer is easy, simple, and short.
Of course we're not laughing, you asshole.
Nobody laughs at the sight of their own blood.
--Naomi Weisstein
