Quote by Ainslie Hogarth

“It's one of my jobs to fret about his arteries, one of the many personal responsibilities that men subconsciously off-load onto their wives, not because they're all jerks but because that's just part of the labor agreement. Unmarried men, it's true, die fatter, younger, filthier, sadder, than their married friends, if they even have friends, because that's another thing a wife is responsible for, friends, except I'm a bust in that department, which is why I have to go extra hard on his arteries.”

“The first responsibility of a "liberated" woman is to lead the fullest, freest, and most imaginative life she can. The second responsibility is her solidarity with other women. She may life and work and make love with men. But she has no right to represent her situation as simpler, or less suspect, or less full of compromises than it really is. her good relations with men must not be bought at the price of betraying her sisters.”

“I am tired that today’s world system punishes women: worships them in words, hates them in deeds, and does not protect them. I am tired that the consequences of “masculine games” — like war — are always paid by women, children, and the weaker ones. I am tired that the economy and society exploit women economically, emotionally, and physically — as workers, as mothers, as women, as the glue that holds families together.”

“[Emma, a fanfiction writer] says she feels like she has more in common, now, with that twelve-year-old girl [that she was] than with the professor she has seemed to become. "It is just sheerly for fun," Emma says of fandom. "It is grace freely given. It is joy shared without consideration of compensation or payback." To her, it's the opposite of work; it's play. [...] Fandom is about reclaiming that play space for "productive selfishness," she says, and "the assignment of your time according to whatever the fuck you feel like, instead of what would be most efficient, or most advantageous to others. It's as important to me as eating healthy or getting exercise.”

“Однак жінка — людина, так само як і мужчина, і вимоги природи в неї такі самі, як її в нього, то її через те треба в таких самих умовах, як і його, виховувати до боротьби за існування, а озброївшися наукою, знанням законів, знанням різних галузей праці, зможе й сама боротись за життєві засоби.”
