“A feminist is a person who answers "yes" to the question, "Are women human?"

Feminism is not about whether women are better than, worse than or identical with men.  And it's certainly not about trading personal liberty--abortion, divorce, sexual self-expression--for social protection as wives and mothers, as pro-life feminists propose.  It's about justice, fairness, and access to the broad range of human experience.It's about women consulting their own well-being and being judged as individuals rather than as members of a class with one personality, one social function, one road to happiness.

It's about women having intrinsic value as persons rather than contingent value as a means to an end for others: fetuses, children, the "family," men.”           ~ Katha Pollitt
