...familiar a movement that is often threatening--to both men and women. In this attempt to gain a larger audience for feminism, however, O'Reilly avoids the more uncomfortable issues of the women's movement: lesbianism, "Managerial Women" who are as power-hungry as the male corporate executives who oppress them, and the failure of the U.S. feminist movement to develop national and international solidarity with Third World and lower-income women...
...party publicist, comes most often. She speaks a strange brand of English, leaning heavily on the rhetorical question ("Yeah, but what's at the base of all that?"). There is a theory for almost everything, and as long as you buy the basic assumption--that capitalists consciously try to oppress others constantly--then it fits together pretty well.

In the United States, the Western tradition is the basis for definition. This idea of objectivity is racist because the "objective" standard is the white one. This concept has been used to oppress us. A perfect example is the "objective" American history book which only mentions us as "slaves," "coolies," "injuns" and "migrant workers," and neglects the major contributions Third World people have made to this society...
