Catharine MacKinnon Quotes About Sexuality

Quotes about: Sexuality

• Marxism teaches that exploitation and degradation somehow produce resistance and revolution. It's been hard to say why.

They produce self-loathing to the point of extinction of self, and it is respect for self that makes resistance conceivable.
