Quotes[edit]
- As long as male domination exists, rape will exist. [...] Rapists will not voluntarily stop raping women, but women revolting and men made conscious of their responsibility to fight sexism will collectively stop rape. Such women and men will stop all forms of exploitation and domination among themselves, and simultaneously attempt to stop others from exploiting and dominating anyone.
- Rape: A Radical Analysis, An African-American Perspective, Black Books Bulletin, vol. 6, no. 4 (1980).
