SIGNORILE, MICHELANGELO
.
.
"A middle ground might be to fight for same sex marriage and its benefits, and then, once granted, redefine the institution completely, to demand the right to marry not as a way of adhering to society's moral codes but rather to debunk a myth and radically alter an archaic institution." -- Michelangelo Signorile, "Bridal Wave," OUT Magazine, December/January 1994, p.161
.
"It [gay marriage] is also a chance to wholly transform the definition of family in American culture. It is the final tool with which to dismantle all sodomy statutes, get education about homosexuality and AIDS into public schools, and, in short, usher in a sea of change in how society views and treats us." -- Michelangelo Signorile, "I do, I do, I do, I do, I do," OUT Magazine, May 1996, p.30

STANTON, ELIZABETH CADY (1815 - 1902)
.
.
"When women can support themselves, have entry to all the trades and professions with a house of their own over their heads and a bank account, they will own their bodies and be dictators in the social realm." -- Elizabeth Cady Stanton
.
"It would be ridiculous to talk of male and female atmospheres, male and female springs or rains, male and female sunshine... how much more ridiculous is it in relation to mind, to soul, to thought, where there is undeniably no such thing as sex, to talk of male and female education and of male and female schools." -- Elizabeth Cady Stanton

“Feminism starts out being very simple. It starts out being the instinct of a little child who says ‘it’s not fair’ and ‘you are not the boss of me,’ and it ends up being a worldview that questions hierarchy altogether.” -- Gloria Steinem, in the two hour HBO special on the life of Gloria Steinem entitled, "Gloria: In Her Own Words."

STODDARD, TOM
.
.
"[E]nlarging the concept to embrace same-sex couples would necessarily transform it into something new....Extending the right to marry to gay people -- that is, abolishing the traditional gender requirements of marriage -- can be one of the means, perhaps the principal one, through which the institution divests itself of the sexist trappings of the past." -- Tom Stoddard, quoted in Roberta Achtenberg, et al, "Approaching 2000: Meeting the Challenges to San Francisco's Families," The Final Report of the Mayor's Task Force on Family Policy, City and County of San Francisco, June 13, 1990, p.1.

TOLSTOY, LEO
.
.
“When I have one foot in the grave, I will tell the whole truth about women. I shall tell it, jump into my coffin, pull the lid over me and say, ‘Do what you like now’.” — Leo Tolstoy
.
"Tie yourself up with a woman, and like a chained convict, you lose all freedom . . . If you only know what women in general are! Egotism, vanity, silliness, triviality in everything. That's what women are when they show themselves as they really are...No, don't marry, my dear friend. Don't marry!" -- Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace, 1869.
“Never, never marry, my dear fellow; that’s my advice to you; don’t marry till you have faced the fact that you have done all you’re capable of doing , and till you cease to love the woman you have chosen, till you see her plainly, or else you will make a cruel mistake that can never be set right. Marry when you’re old and good for nothing… Or else everything good and lofty in you will be done for. It will all be frittered away over trifles. Yes, yes, yes! Don’t look at me with such surprise. If you expect anything of yourself in the future you will feel at every step that for you all is over… all is closed up except the drawing-room, where you will stand on the same level with the court lackey and the idiot… And why!” -- Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace, 1869
.
"Women are generally stupid, but the devil lends her brains when she works for him. Then she accomplishes miracles of thinking, farsightedness, constancy, in order to do something nasty." -- Leo Tolstoy, 1898

TREBILCOT, JOYCE
.
.
"If the classroom situation is very heteropatriarchal -- a large beginning class of 50 to 60 students, say, with few feminist students -- I am likely to define my task as largely one of recruitment...of persuading students that women are oppressed." -- said Professor Joyce Trebilcot of Washington University in "Who Stole Feminism: How Women Have Betrayed Women."

TROTSKY, LEON (1879 - 1940)
.
.
“Dialectical thought is related to vulgar thinking in the same way that a motion picture is related to a still photograph. The motion picture does not outlaw the still photograph but combines a series of them according to the laws of motion.” -- Leon Trotsky
.
“The dialectic is neither fiction nor mysticism, but a science of the forms of our thinking insofar as it is not limited to the daily problems of life but attempts to arrive at an understanding of more complicated and drawn-out processes. The dialectic and formal logic bear a relationship similar to that between higher and lower mathematics.” -- Leon Trotsky
.

TRUDEAU, PIERRE ELLIOT
.
.
"The government will support and encourage the various cultures and ethnice groups that give structure and vitatity to our society. They will be encouraged to share their cultural expressions and values with other Canadians and so contribute to a richer life for us all.'' -- Pierre Elliot Trudeau

WATERS, MAXINE

"I have to march because my mother could not have an abortion!" -- Maxine Waters, US House of Representatives, Democrat

.
"I don't see white police officers slamming the heads of little white boys into police cars." -- Maxine Waters, US House of Representatives, Democrat
.
"...a legislative markup in 1997 changed everything. During a House Subcommittee debate over the legislative intentions of Title IX, Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) rejected Representative Charles Canady's (R-FL) reminder of the Quie Amendment, declaring, ""Title IX is the biggest quota you've ever seen. It is fifty-fifty. It is a big round quota." Her statement was a big harbinger of future judicial opinions that would change the course of Title IX significantly." -- From: Time Out For Fairness (Women For Title IX Reform) - from the Independent Women's Forum http://www.iwf.org/pdf/fairness.pdf p.10
