Bell Hooks Quotes

That Foundation Rested On Our Critique Of What We Then Called 'the Enemy Within,' Referring To Our Internalized Sexism. We All Knew Firsthand That We Had Been Socialized As Females By Patriarchal Thinking To See Ourselves As Inferior To Men, To See Ourselves As Always And Only In Competition With One Another For Patriarchal Approval, To Look Upon Each Other With Jealousy, Fear, And Hatred. Sexist Thinking Made Us Judge Each Other Without Compassion And Punish One Another Harshly. Feminist Thinking Helped Us Unlearn Female Self-hatred. It Enabled Us To Break Free Of The Hold Patriarchal Thinking Had On Our Consciousness.
