It's very embarrassing.”

“Women have been taught that, for us, the earth is flat, and that if we venture out, we will fall off the edge. Some of us have ventured out nevertheless, and so far we have not fallen off. It is my faith, my feminist faith, that we will not.”
“The US bombed them back to traditional values â€“ feminism does not exist in Japan. While I donâ€™t like judging an entire cultureâ€¦that does not excuse them.”
“We must reclaim and retake feminism from our fellow idiotic women.”
