About This Quote
This quote is a play on words because the word “bullshit” means the opposite of what one would expect. The word bullshit derives from the term bull which means, "to deceive or pretend." So, when Emma Goldman said, “I’ve been accused of vulgarity. I say that’s bullshit,” she was talking about how she felt that people may have unfairly judged her based on her choice of language. She wanted people to know that it was not true that she was vulgar or that her words were any different than anyone else’s.
