“The fact is, women have spent their lives carrying the family, taking on the emotional burdens of others, avoiding rape or unwanted sexual advances, being perceived to be stupid, being told they are mad, negotiating extreme hormonal shifts, being paid less, being viewed as either a piece of meat or hideous and unattractive (why are these our only two options?), being told they slutty or frigid, having less power than their male counterparts, being expected to eat less than men...being told they have to have careers and excel in academia...being told they must he children and be great, present mothers, being told they must be sexually available to their partners and not go off sex even after childbirth and breastfeeding, looking after sick family members, cleaning up their father's messes (many women I know do this) and still look young and smile and cook well and have time to give advice and love to their male friends and lovers...No.”
