More From Bell Hooks

There's obviously instances where i perceive sexism in my job. ... i think that the sort of sexism that i see has been one that's a little bit like a gentler form of sexism, but still a little bit debilitating, which is that when, as a producer and a writer, whether it was at the office or [at the mindy project], if i make a decision, it'll still seem like it's up for debate.

If we are ever to construct a feminist movement that is not based on the premise that men and women are always at war with one another, then we must be willing to acknowledge the appropriateness of complex critical responses to writing by men even if it is sexist. clearly women can learn from writers whose work is sexist, even be inspired by it, because sexism may be simply one dimension of that work. concurrently fiercely critiquing the sexism does not mean that one does not value the work.

The modern challenge to motherhood is the eternal challenge--that of being a godly woman. the very phrase sounds strange in our ears. we never hear it now. we hear about every other type of women: beautiful women, smart women, sophisticated women, career women, talented women, divorced women. but so seldom to we hear of a godly woman--or of a godly man either, for that matter. i believe women come nearer to fulfilling their god-given function in the home than anywhere else.

Since we all came from a women, got our name from a women, and our game from a women. i wonder why we take from women, why we rape our women, do we hate our women? i think its time we killed for our women, be real to our women, try to heal our women, cus if we dont we'll have a race of babies that will hate the ladies, who make the babies. and since a man can't make one he has no right to tell a women when and where to create one

Obama also allowed hillary supporters to insert an absurd statement into the platform suggesting that media sexism spurred her loss and that “demeaning portrayals of women ... dampen the dreams of our daughters.” ... it would have been better to put this language in the platform: “a woman who wildly mismanages and bankrupts a quarter-of-a-billion-dollar campaign operation, and then blames sexism in society, will dampen the dreams of our daughters.”

Hillary's never been anything but the smartest woman in the world. i've talked about this i don't know how many times. i know republicans and conservatives scared to death of this woman, scared to death. and it isn't because they think she's not sophisticated. it isn't because they think she's stupid. but she gets into trouble enough or she fails enough, like when she does poorly in a primary, what do they chalk it up to? sexism, like don lemon did. sexism.
