Quote by Kathleen Stock

“And perhaps most awkwardly, they have been left unable properly to explain why, internationally, half the population in a given culture might be disproportionately subject to specific experiences like rape, sexual slavery, female genital mutilation, honour killing, female infanticide, banishment to menstrual huts, surrogacy tourism or death by stoning for the act of adultery. Clue: it’s not possession of a female gender identity.”

“White women wanted parity with white men at any cost, including by avidly taking on the domination of Black and Brown people. As white feminists have progressed within their societies, and began to occupy increasingly important positions, they're constructing a feminism that uses the lives of Black and Brown people as arenas in which they can prove their credentials to white men.”

“Daphne tried to convey to him that the likelihood of degrees for women at Oxford was a matter for satisfaction, perhaps, but hardly for excitement or ratification. Women's accomplishments in the University had long been equal, if not superior, to men's; degrees were not a privilege, they were simply what women deserved - their due, their right. She became very animated as she argued on this topic.”

“...the work of sexologists and the development of sex therapy are all instances of how men’s power over women was to be supported and managed through the regulation of marital sex. Sex, in this scheme of things, was not a natural and spontaneous seeking after pleasure by men and women, but a regulatory mechanism designed and constructed to enforce male dominance and female submission.”

“Ты глупец, Марсель, или же жалкий провокатор, капризный сопливый кретин. Полный самодовольства — уж во всяком случае, до такой степени, чтоб полагать, будто твоё письмо наставит меня на «правильный» путь. Ты смеешь ревновать, требовать от меня отчёта о мужчинах, с которыми я встречаюсь, тогда как сам сочиняешь длинные трактаты и часами можешь рассуждать о пользе неверности. Ты нечестен, и это ещё не самое худшее… Ты поступаешь точно так же, как все мужчины, ты высокомерно учишь, ты думаешь за меня, ты считаешь допустимым диктовать мне, с кем я должна встречаться и как себя вести, ты воображаешь себе мои мечты и тайные устремления. Ты хочешь и того и сего, ты щедро раздаешь советы. А на самом деле ты просто преждевременно состарился.”
