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.

I think it's important to realize that the players who are protesting aren't protesting the anthem. They're not protesting the flag. People kind of move the goalposts on them and try to tell them what they're protesting. But as they keep saying, that's not what they're protesting.

In the modern workplace, sexism has adopted a more subtle persona; therefore, people can be accused of sexism where it's far harder to determine whether they're actually committing sexism or thinking in a sexist way.

Jed Mercurio

There is a clear difference between sexist parody and parody of sexism. Sexist parody encourages the players to mock and trivialize gender issues while parody of sexism disrupts the status quo and undermines regressive gender conventions.

Anita Sarkeesian

There’s no such thing as sexism against men. That's because sexism is prejudice + power. Men are the dominant gender with power in society.

Anita Sarkeesian

I'm not sexist in any way - sexism is another form of violence, and there are many great men in this world.

Betty Williams

I am not protesting against the conduct of the war, but against the political errors and insincerities for which the fighting men are being sacrificed.

Siegfried Sassoon

Women empowerment does not mean you create complex among men. Then it will take 20 more years to empower men. It is all about evolving as a soul, as a human being. It does not mean that you become a sexist.

Kangana Ranaut

I do not fight against men, but against the system that is sexist.

Elfriede Jelinek

Feminism is a movement to end sexism, sexist exploitation, and oppression.

In the sport itself it's fine, but online I have had constant sexist comments saying women are not as good as men.

Fallon Sherrock

A man protesting against error is on the way towards uniting himself with all men that believe in truth.

Thomas Carlyle

There is sexism - I'm not denying its existence. But I'm saying that I will deny its effort against me. I just pay it no nevermind and say, 'Get out of my way.'

Julia Louis-Dreyfus

Preventing war is much better than protesting against the war. Protesting the war is too late.

Nhat Hanh

In the past quarter century, we exposed biases against other races and called it racism, and we exposed biases against women and called it sexism. Biases against men we call humor.
