Quote by Adrienne Maree Brown

“Women and femmes who love money are free to be demanding. The world has tried to fool them into thinking that getting paid for care or sex “cheapens” it. Please. You know what’s “cheap”? When men think they’re entitled to free and unlimited care, attention, and sex. That’s cheap.”

“Women know in their hearts that sex should mean something. You decide: Should love be temporary, or forever? Should it be coerced, or freely given? Is it uncommitted, or faithful? Is it lifeless, or life-giving? Is it hidden, or announced to the world? If you believe that romantic love should ultimately be a life-giving public declaration of freely given faithful love that lasts forever, then you've just described marriage vows.

“The sources, dubious and dubiouser, also recommended missionary position, and she was happy to oblige. Missionary position was, as far as she could tell, like vanilla ice cream: purported to be boring and chosen only by passionless, unimaginative, exhausted people but really the best one. She liked to look at Penn's face so close that it split into pieces like a modernist painting. She liked the length of his front pressed against the length of hers. She felt that people who needed to do it upside down and backward from behind -- or who added candied bacon or smoked sea salt or pieces of raw cookies to their ice cream -- were probably compensating for a product that was inferior to begin with.”
