More From Erica Jong

I had a real come-to-jesus a couple of years ago when i started to see the direct line between feminism and everything else - feminism and climate change, feminism and poverty, feminism and hunger - and it was almost like i was born again and started walking down the street and was like, "oh, my god, there are women everywhere! they're just everywhere you look. there's women all over the place!"

I get very frustrated when i hear women saying, "oh, feminism is passé," because i think feminism means empowerment. men can be feminists, too! many men are feminists. we need feminism. it's not against men; it's about the empowerment of women. it's the respect of women - giving women equal rights, the same opportunities.

Love her, love her, love her! if she favours you, love her. if she wounds you, love her. if she tears your heart to pieces – and as it gets older and stronger, it will tear deeper – love her, love her, love her!
Heart Tears Stronger
Her work, i really think her work is finding what her real work is and doing it, her work, her own work, her being human, her being in the world.

Everybody has opinions: i have them, you have them. and we are all told from the moment we open our eyes, that everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. well, that's horsepuckey, of course. we are not entitled to our opinions; we are entitled to our informed opinions. without research, without background, without understanding, it's nothing. it's just bibble-babble. it's like a fart in a wind tunnel, folks.

What we need is a tough new kind of feminism with no illusions. women do not change institutions simply by assimilating into them. we need a feminism that teaches a woman to say no - not just to the date rapist or overly insistent boyfriend but, when necessary, to the military or corporate hierarchy within which she finds herself. we need a kind of feminism that aims not just to assimilate into the institutions that men have created over the centuries, but to infiltrate and subvert them.

My father had been in the military and he was a weapons specialist, so he had an affinity for weapons but also for the discipline of it. he taught us how to shoot when we were young. he opened up karate schools in the worst parts of the city, on purpose, and then he would systematically clean out a three-block radius, all of the gang-bangers and drug dealers and everybody of nefarious character.

The population becomes the internal enemy. any sign of life, of protest, or even mere doubt, is a dangerous challenge from the standpoint of military doctrine and national security. so complicated mechanisms of prevention adn punishment have been developed ... to operate effectively, the repression must appear arbitrary. apart from breathing, any human activity can constitute a crime ... state terrorism aims to paralyze the population with fear.

War is the supreme test of man in which he rises to heights never approached in any other activity.
