10 famous quotes by judith butler

- I am much more open about categories of gender, and my feminism has been about women’s safety from violence, increased literacy, decreased poverty and more equality.
- There is no original or primary gender a drag imitates, but gender is a kind of imitation for which there is no original.
- Life has to be protected. It is precarious. I would even go so far as to say that precarious life is, in a way, a Jewish value for me.
- A man who reads effeminate may well be consistently heterosexual, and another one might be gay. We can’t read sexuality off of gender.
- I would say that I’m a feminist theorist before I’m a queer theorist or a gay and lesbian theorist.
