“There you have it. He is resentful that a woman is succeeding where he failed, and most likely, he will either continue to encroach on your territory or try to take credit for your work. Be careful.”

“It is the very hypocrisy that lies at the heart of so many men; they want everything their own way, and when I point out the failings in their logic I am told that I am simply not intelligent enough to understand it. They speak their private language of power, and I am not afraid to point out that it is often gibberish.”

“Slavegirls' brats, sir, are not heralded by proud fathers in the 'Daily Gazette.' The fact that I exist is marked only by my standing here before you, blood and bone decked out in a new dress. The modern philosophers may grant me a soul, but nobody – lord, nobody – burdens me with a fate to be foreseen!”

“The Devil didn't have to do much; the world did it for him. Discontent mothers taught their own daughters how to hate motherhood, marriage, and family.”

“Un cuarto propio también son los privilegios que ayudan a que una mujer escriba. Una jornada laboral de menos de ocho horas es un cuarto propio. Dinero y tiempo para ir a un café a escribir es un cuarto propio. Silencio en casa es un cuarto propio. Una mesa y una computadora es un cuarto propio. No compartir vivienda con diez personas es un cuarto propio. Tener quien te cuide a las crías para arrastrar la pluma es un cuarto propio.”

“I was haunted by the stereotype of the mother whose love is 'unconditional'; and by the visual literary images of motherhood as a single-minded identity. If I knew parts of myself existed that would never cohere to those images, weren't those parts then abnormal, monstrous?”

“We learn, often through painful self-discipline and self-cauterization, those qualities which are supposed to be 'innate' in us: patience, self-sacrifice, the willingness to repeat endlessly the small, routine chores of socializing a human being.”

“(...) To discuss such, ah, personal matters on the air, especially in an educational setting, is really quite in poor taste.” “It wasn’t that personal,” I say. “Everyone who’s been on social media knows what happened with the 'Bugle' stuff. Also, you know, my locker still says FEMINAZI.” Dr. Guinn clears his throat. “I meant your discussion about . . . feminine hygiene.” It takes me a minute to understand. “Are you trying to say that tampons aren’t allowed on the morning announcements?” Dr. Guinn studies me for a moment. (...) “I’m just trying to ensure that this is an environment where everyone feels comfortable.” Look, I get it. Tampons are embarrassing. Periods are embarrassing. PMS, for some reason, is not, but that’s because it has somehow become a synonym for being in a bad mood while female. The whole specific business with the bleeding, though, is still not cool, except in certain woke corners of the internet. (...) But it’s weird to have Dr. Guinn tell me how embarrassing periods are. The man has never had one in his life—why does he get to have an opinion about it? “Could it be,” I say, in as conciliatory a tone as I can manage, “that maybe it’s not an environment where everyone feels comfortable . . . if we’re not allowed to talk publicly about something that is a normal, healthy part of life for every menstruating student and teacher at Willoughby?”
