Couldn't beat him wife because she from royal blood, so he bond me for that." "Kongori masters have always been cruel." "Low-wit donkey, the man was not my master, he was my kidnapper.

“就算我们不记得经历过郑重的蜕皮或孵化仪式，现在也百分百变成了成虫，变成了苍蝇。只要活着就能自然闪亮的样子已成往昔。 在澳洲的夏夜，我妈照旧吐露着诸如“有孩子的人都认为，自己人生最精彩最有意义的事，就是生了孩子”之类的个性名言，强力劝我产卵。我依然在幼虫的闪亮与成虫的生殖之间的狭窄缝隙里，持续着大体还算满意同时莫名空虚的日常生活。”

“Opinions are swayed and decisions made as commonly in the pub after work as in the office boardroom, and 'soft power' is as crucial as formal hierarchical structures. A quiet word behind the scenes, an appropriately timed gift, a well-negotiated marriage alliance - the general management of the human networks so necessary in early modern society were all forms of political agency wielded expertly by women.”

“As a woman who is from a working-class background, I was aware, growing up, how little was expected of me in terms of achievement. It was assumed by my teachers that, like other girls, I too might go into teaching, or train as a nurse (not a doctor), or get a job to bide my time till marriage. Ambition was for others. It was not for the working class. It was not for working-class women. This has nothing to do with genetics. Nothing to do with individual attributes or interests. Nothing to do with what’s natural. It is about social circumstances. It is about socially engineered inequality. The unscientific lie that all women are inferior to men, that most men are inferior to other men, that non-whites are inferior to whites is a tidy but simple-minded way to avoid any kind of social justice. These are not ‘hard truths’. They are lies.”
