About this Quote

This quote by Catharine MacKinnon talks to the value of producing a society in which everyone is genuinely equivalent. In such a society, words of racial or sexual assault and humiliation would be meaningless due to the fact that they would not show the reality of the scenario. People would not be judged or victimized based upon their race or gender, therefore these words would have no power. This quote emphasizes the requirement for a society in which everybody is treated with regard and dignity, despite their race or gender. It is just when we create a society in which equality is a reality, not just a word, that we can genuinely move on and develop a better world for everybody.
