Quote by Louise Meriwether

“Yeah, I thought to myself, like LSD, a black lover is the thing this year. I had seen the white girls in the Village and at off-Broadway theaters clutching their black men tightly while I, manless, looked on with bitterness. I often vowed I would find me an ofay in self-defense, but I could never bring myself to condone the wholesale rape of my slave ancestors by letting a white man touch me.”

“Sex is nature’s gift for both the sexes. If you mistake that you’ve more to give than receive in it, then the woman in you would lose as wife for you won’t be able to experience the joy of being a female. So don’t ever demean lovemaking as an instrument of sexual blackmail. It pays to know that sex is not about male satiation alone but it is as much a womanly fulfillment”

“In Haraway’s work, queering animals means not only showing that animals sometimes have unreproductive sex. It means showing the political value of unhinging animality from its heretofore seamless relationship to the concept of a ‘nature’ that is stable, predictable, and controllable. Feminism has barely begun to denaturalize or queer animal sexualities. For instance, Carol Adams persuasively argues that the sexual objectification and consumption of animals and of women follow the same models…She proposes that feminism approach the animalizing of women and the feminization of animals in patriarchal culture as a unique opportunity, namely the chance to study the oppression of animals as a particular symptom of androcentric social organization. However, Adams’s work on the visual culture aspect of meat consumption is devoted to exposing the logic and structure of a pattern of oppression and exploitation, a position depending on one important assumption: that humans are the only actors in this practice. The structure of her argument makes power and privilege pretty unambiguously distinguishable from subjugation. In that sense, it offers rather limited resources for a post- or neo-Foucauldian feminist analysis of power, desire, and norms, the production of truths and practices, and the complexities of self-care.”

“As of September 2020, the British mandatory curriculum broadened to include same-sex relationships, sexual assault and 'porn literacy,' and parents will no longer be able to opt-out their children once they reach the age of fifteen. A petition with more than 118,000 signatures protested against the change, insisting that it was the parents' 'fundamental right to teach their child' about sex. What these parents are missing is that their children are already being taught about sex, and not by them.”

“While the romantic can look a little soppy and self-absorbed, the true lover has a healthy, robust, earthy, strong, and loving attractor field that automatically asks for a like response in their partner. Do not underestimate the capacity of your partner to grow through the intimacy of sexual union. Both men and women need to be strong, confident, forthright, kind, gentle and nurturing. In the bedroom, three are present—the partners and the Divine. Use the openness and vulnerability of the sexual arena to grow closer to God and give that same gift to your loved one.”

“섹스를 하면 힘이 빠지고, 그 다음엔 행복감에 젖어서 무엇에게든 욕을 하거나 저주하고 싶은 마음이 들지 않게 되는데, 그들은 그런 상태를 용납할 수 없다는 거예요. 그들은 사람들이 언제나 정력으로 똘똘 뭉쳐 있기를 원해요. 행진을 하고, 함성을 지르고, 깃발을 흔드는 것들은 모두 섹스의 변종일 뿐이에요. 행복감을 느끼면 뭣 하러 '빅 브라더'나 '삼 개년 계획'이나 '이 분 증오'나 그 밖의 썩어빠진 그들의 의식에 그처럼 열을 올리겠어요?”
