They exchange meaningful glances when she misses a point. They agree that she is not bright as they are, cannot reason as they do. This collusion does not save the daughter from the mother’s fate.” Bonnie Burstow, Radical Feminist Therapy: Working in the Context of Violence tags: feminism, mothers, patriarchy, philosophy, psychology, radical-feminism 1712 likes Like “Man looks on woman from his vantage point and reduces her to a being that is not for-itself but for-him.” Bonnie Burstow, Radical Feminist Therapy: Working in the Context of Violence tags: feminism, patriarchy, philosophy, radical-feminism 46 likes Like “Women’s bodies are arranged, maimed, jeopardized, and tailored for the purposes of men-defined eroticism. [...] We dye our hair, smear our lips, paint our cheeks, stop our sweat, perfume our genitals, unkink our hair, and pluck our brows.” Bonnie Burstow, Radical Feminist Therapy: Working in the Context of Violence tags: femininity, feminism, patriarchy, radical-feminism 28 likes Like “With oppression, one group has the power to realize their choices and to name the world in order to change the world, while the other has these choices, these names, and this world imposed on them.” Bonnie Burstow, Radical Feminist Therapy: Working in the Context of Violence tags: feminism, oppression, patriarchy, philosophy, radical-feminism 15 likes Like “The so-called “mental health system” served the interest of the patriarchy; that is, it pathologized the socially created problems that women face and reinforced the sex roles that the patriarchy prescribes.” Bonnie Burstow, Radical Feminist Therapy: Working in the Context of Violence tags: feminism, mental-health, patriarchy, radical-feminism 10 likes Like “Sexploitation involves the partial, not the complete, reduction of woman. We must be sufficiently objectified to be a body that is for-men and at the same time sufficiently our-selves to have human grace and movement.” Bonnie Burstow, Radical Feminist Therapy: Working in the Context of Violence tags: femininity, feminism, objectification, patriarchy, radical-feminism 7 likes Like All Quotes Quotes By Bonnie Burstow Company About us Careers Terms Privacy Interest Based Ads Ad Preferences Your Ads Privacy Choices Help Work with us Authors Advertise Authors & ads blog Connect Mobile version © 2026 Goodreads LLC
