Quote by Mary Cholmondeley

“Every year I live I am more convinced that the waste of life lies in the love we have not given, the powers we have not used, the selfish prudence which will risk nothing, and which, shirking pain, misses happiness as well.”

“La reine n’était plus régente. Elle avait offert un garçon au trône d’Arcavie et l’avait guidé jusqu’à ce jour fatidique : elle avait accompli son devoir. Désormais, son existence se résumait à un souvenir silencieux. On lui rendrait hommage en érigeant une statue à son effigie dans l’allée des Reines. Tel le bloc de marbre taillé à son image, elle serait impérissable, inaliénable, immortelle. Et par-dessus tout, dépourvue de la parole. En cet instant, Esther rêvait de briser les sculptures de toutes ces femmes de roi à qui l’on avait ôté la voix. Une fois leurs ersatz de pierre détruits, entendrait-on leurs cris révoltés ?”

“It is tempting to think of such men as a deviant sub-culture, a pathological underground, a sick minority. Yet splatter films which revel in pornographic scenes where women are tortured and killed are part of the mainstream; music videos celebrating male violence against women to the point of death and beyond are also mainstream. Misogynist hate propaganda is so normalised it has faded into the texture of the everyday – and we barely notice how pervasive it is.”

“The logic of misogynist extermination saturates the innumerable levels of social violence, of exclusions to the point of death, the bullying, psychological, economic and emotional violence that children and women endure in a male supremacist culture the logic of misogynist extermination runs through a criminal justice system which after almost half a century of attempted reform still blames women and girls for being raped, which colludes with rapists, paedophiles, women beaters and killers to reabuse children and women when they seek justice. Children and women who have been beaten or raped by men are still considered “damaged goods”, their value as human beings diminished by male violence.”

“The necropolitical core of patriarchal capitalism is snuff pornography, the abject centre that no one wants to face. It is the logical conclusion of a system that treats women as “things”, of an irrational hatred that rapes and murders countless women every minute of the day simply because they are not male. We have entered the era of shock and awe misogyny.”
