"I wanna go home. I want a beer. I want an ice cream sandwich. I wanna take a nap. I wanna read a comic book. I wanna watch Little House on the Prairie. I want a vodka." - Bored to Death

"I decided that I was a feminist. And this seemed uncomplicated to me. But my recent research has shown me that feminism has become an unpopular word. Women are choosing not to identify as feminists. Apparently I am among the ranks of women whose expressions are seen as too strong, too aggressive, isolating, anti-men and unattractive. Why has the word become such an uncomfortable one? I am fro Britain and think it is right that I am paid the same my male counterparts. I think it is right that I should be able to make decisions about my own body. I think it is right that women be involved on my behalf in the policies and decisions that will affect my life. I think it is right that socially I am afforded the same respect as men." - Emma Watson

"I feel like part of the issue is this idea that [men] are meant to be resilient. This surprised me: men commit suicide at a rate of 3:1 to women. Which is 'cause it's better to be a dude! You get paid more. You get male privilege. You've got the patriarchy on your side. You don't menstruate! It's good! It's really good! Up until the age of 8 or 9, boys cry the same amount as girls ... and then they get taught to stop. They're not allowed anymore. And it's ridiculous! And this fear of looking weak, or looking feminine or looking gay ... is stopping men from talking about their feelings. And they they kill themselves." - Josh Thomas

"I was complaining to my boyfriend about some Kotex tampons I had used and on a whim I decided to go to the website and leave a review so other people who might get them would know better. I went to submit, only to receive the words: 'Your review text contains inappropriate language.' I was confused at first, I mean I was pretty emphatic, but I didn't cuss at al ... and then I realized I had typed the word 'vagina.' You can't type the word 'vagina' on a TAMPON review because it's considered inappropriate. Kotex, a company that makes over a billion dollars a year primarily selling products to people with vaginas, thinks that someone typing the word 'vagina' in a review of a product that goes in their vagina is being inappropriate and needs to be censored. I retyped 'v*gina' with an asterisk like it was a swear word, submitted and it went to preview mode with no problem. But I'm still kind of in shock ... Honestly, what is wrong with Kotex that they think they need to protect tampon users from the word 'vagina'? If you think think our society's fear of the vagina was absurd, here you go. It's cartoonish." - Unknown

"The worst thing you can call somebody is crazy. It's dismissive. 'I don't understand this person', so they're crazy. That's bullshit. These people are not crazy. They're strong people. Maybe the environment is a little sick." - Dave Chappelle
