“There’s a saying in Germany. If there’s a Nazi at the table and ten other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with eleven Nazis.”
Regina Jackson, White Women: Everything You Already Know About Your Own Racism and How to Do Better

Gerda Lerner
“By making the term "man" subsume "woman" and arrogate to itself the representation of all humanity, men have built a conceptual error of vast proportion into all of their thought. By taking the half for the whole, they have not only missed the essence of whatever they are describing, but they have disroted it in such a fashion that they cannot see it correctly. As long as men believed the earth to be flat, they could not understand its reality, its function, and its actual relationship to other bodies in the universe. As long as men believe their experiences, their viewpoint, and their ideas represent all of human experience and all of human thought, they are not only unable to define correctly in the abstract, but they are unable to describe reality accurately.”
Gerda Lerner, The Creation of Patriarchy

Gary Indiana
“I desire you, it's as simple and awful as that.... it's idiotic, but I love you.”
Gary Indiana, Horse Crazy

Gary Indiana
“Homosexuals are... widely consigned to the same category of things as drugs, the category of illicit dirty things that people have to be protected from... since the homosexual is continually taught by the world around him that his natural home is the sewer, the homosexual is uniquely equipped to discover what truly belongs and doesn't belong in the sewer.”
Gary Indiana, Three Month Fever: The Andrew Cunanan Story

“Finally, you might be wondering why we focus our work on white women, rather than men. As Regina says, “If white men wanted to change anything, they’d have done it by now, so why bother trying to get them to do anything.”
Regina Jackson, White Women: Everything You Already Know About Your Own Racism and How to Do Better
