Quote by Kelly Jensen

“Isn't it wild the way our puritanical culture represses women's love of their own bodies, their discovery and the joy of their sexual experiences? All the things that my kid should be able to naturally be, she is going to have to defend. She is going to have to become skilled as dismantling the information that comes in, sifting through it the noise and the human collision, and not allowing it to reshape her in the image of the distorted sexist lens of our culture.”

Count. Me. In.”

Yet life can only be lived in the individual; almost invariably the individual refuses to conform to the theories and the classifications of the statistician.”
