It doesn\’t matter what word we use, if it has the same content, it will be treated in the same way. There are other words – there\’s \”womanist,\” there\’s \”mujerista,\” there\’s \”women\’s liberationist\” – all mean the same thing and they get the same ridicule. I think we just need to choose what word we feel comfortable with that says women are full human beings, and whatever that word is, it will get a lot of opposition. But it will also attract a lot of support. But this is a revolution, not a Public Relations movement. – Gloria Steinem
