“What’s the worst possible thing you can call a woman? Don’t hold back, now.
You’re probably thinking of words like slut, whore, bitch, cunt (I told you not to hold back!), skank.
Okay, now, what are the worst things you can call a guy? Fag, girl, bitch, pussy. I’ve even heard the term “mangina.”
Notice anything? The worst thing you can call a girl is a girl. The worst thing you can call a guy is a girl. Being a woman is the ultimate insult. Now tell me that’s not royally fucked up.”
― Full Frontal Feminism

“That was part of being a girl--you were resigned to whatever feedback you'd get. If you got mad, you were crazy, and if you didn't react, you were a bitch. The only thing you could do was smile from the corner they'd backed you into. Implicate yourself in the joke even if the joke was always on you.”

“And a woman by herself is missing a man, while a man by himself is his own master.
Trousers. That's the secret. Trousers and a pair of socks. I never dreamed it was like this. Put on trousers and the world changes. We walk different. We act different. I see these girls and I think: Idiot's Get yourself some trousers!”

“To say that we want wages for housework is to expose the fact that housework is already money for capital, that capital has made and makes money out of our cooking, smiling, fucking. At the same time, it shows that we have cooked, smiled, fucked throughout the years not because it was easier for us than for anybody else, but because we did not have any other choice. Our faces have become distorted from so much smiling, our feelings have got lost from so much loving, our oversexualization has left us completely desexualized.”

“People don’t believe women who fight back. When a man lashes out, people say he’s lost control of his temper or made a terrible mistake. When a woman does it, she’s a psychopath.”

“She was a real no-nonsense girl. Just didn’t have time for any shit, you know? I’ve always admired that about her. I was so concerned with whether or not everyone liked me at that age.
And people hate that quality in a young woman, don’t they? They don’t know what to do with a girl who isn’t looking for their approval. They feel like they have to bring her down a peg.”

“Men live in a dream. They always want to be treated like children. When they're strong, we indulge them in this fantasy simply because they're men.
Women, on the other hand, have reality shoved into their faces. Useless dreams are not luxuries they can entertain for long. No matter how much they may hate the real world, they do not have the luxury of acting like children.”

“Sensuality is about disruptive thinking. And disruptive thinking isn’t about picking a side between the masculine and the feminine. It’s about stepping past the arguments and rising above gender issues. This war between genders clearly indicates how far out of touch people are with their sensual side.”

“… Ancak kalıtımsal aristokrasi, sınıf ya da ırk gibi hiyerarşiler, güçlü veya zengin erkeklerle bağlantılı kadınlara imtiyaz sağladığından, kadınlar kendilerini aslında diğer kadınlarla aynı kaderi paylaşan, erkeklerden ayrı bir grup olarak görmeyerek, genellikle kendilerini ikincil konumda tutan kurumları, entelektüel yapıları desteklediler ki bu da Gramsci'nin hegemonya düşüncesine iyi bir örnektir.”

“Children don’t always understand such subtleties. They watch. They observe. They imbibe. They mimic. The byproduct of this is that many young boys have grown up mistakenly believing that they are entitled to a woman’s care and attention just like their fathers were.”

“Very few men in India see women as friends, and because of this, most men in India have what is called the ‘nice guy syndrome’. Again, the roots of it are strengthened in childhood experiences when schools segregate boys and girls and parents tell young boys they can’t play with girls or vice versa. When we pitch young children against each other because of sex and gender it carries on well into their adulthood.”

“I trust that the publication of my life story will contribute to a correct estimate of androgvnism on the part of scientists, the molders of public opinion, and the lawmakers, and to a more kindly treatment by society of those born with this curse. It is only expressing half the truth to say that they are more to be pitied than scorned. They are wholly to be pitied.”
