Kathryn Bigelow: Newspaper Editor

Quotes 

• Newspaper Editor : Statistics will show you that the percentage of rape and prostitution at this point is significantly lower than it was pre-revolutionary society and that obviously is an advancement step forward. It's impossible to talk about the complete, you know, abolition.

• Newspaper Editor : Women fought the war of liberation with the expectation that government would work - beyond reform, toward a truely egalitarian society. Then and now, the party has argued that social transformation must wait until the country obtains economic stability. But, unless we struggle now for our rights, we will always be oppressed.

• Newspaper Editor : Our government, which is priding itself on being the first democratic socialism, is neither democratic nor socialist. In forming an alliance with male labor, the government has reinforced the caste system that has always existed in this country.

• Newspaper Editor : We extend our support to the army as a legitimate revolutionary group; because, we also believe that the party has been undermining the economic and social position of women.
