But in the 90s it was asked of me: Do you support equal pay for equal work? Do you support the notion that men and women are equal? If the answer to both of those is "yes" then you are a feminist. So I am, so mote it be.

Look, feminism is a big tent. You will find some Republicans under that tent. You might also find Millicent Fenwick, Andrea Dworkin and Camille Paglia under that tent. You might also find Hugh Hefner and Larry Flynt under that tent. You also might find Annie Sprinkle.

It is not about the person, but the cause. And the cause is just.

And in this case, yes there is a war. We can leave the Spanish Inquisition for later.
