Good women always think it is their fault when someone else is being offensive. Bad women never take the blame for anything.
The greatest feminists have also been the greatest lovers. I'm thinking not only of Mary Wollstonecraft and her daughter Mary Shelley, but of Anais Nin, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and of course Sappho.

Bad women's comedies are made by men who didn't consult enough women.
I should think myself a very bad woman, if I had done what I do for a farthing less.
I'm a bad woman, but I'm damn good company.
I do think in general, women have a value system. And it's that value system that I think is feminism. Not "men are bad, women are good, let's get women empowered" - it's let's get this value system, which is about the capacity to feel and empathize with life, and therefore to protect it.
