“You may need to witness several false dawns fully to understand that all women are, in patriarchal terms, the losers. That is our role; it is baked into patriarchal understandings of history, progress, success, failure, creativity, genius, what really matters, what doesn’t. Insisting yours is the cohort of women who will finally smash the patriarchy, whereas the one that preceded it represents its last stand, is itself patriarchal.”

Just to have less violence--less warmongering, less bloodshed, less crime--wouldn't that be grand?”

“A world without men would hardly be a utopia. There'd still be some kind of hierarchy, that's inevitable. There'd still be one group trying to dominate everyone else, because that's human nature. There'd still be plenty of abused children. On the other hand, I can't quite picture Orwell's "boot stamping on a human face forever" on a female foot.”
