Quote by Jack London

“Esmagaremos todos os revolucionários com o nosso tacão, e espezinhá-los-emos. Somos os senhores do mundo: o mundo é nosso e continuará a ser nosso. Quanto às hostes dos trabalhadores, vivem na lama desde o início da história. Continuarão na lama enquanto detivermos o poder. É essa a palavra. É a rainha das palavras: poder. Não Deus, nem dinheiro, mas poder.”

“There’s also the assumption that once someone is on the pill there’s no further need to manage sexual health. How many times have you heard, ‘We didn’t use a condom because she was on the pill’? Too many to count. This stuff isn’t necessarily the pill’s fault though – it’s society’s. The culture we live in is non-consensual, sexist and full of double standards. But we’re changing that, right? We have to.”

“There’s a model of understanding the disabled community uses that I think can also be applied to other situations, including this one. It’s called the Social Model of Disability, and it states that it is not a person’s condition that disables them, but rather society through inaccessibility and stigma. So it is not PCOS that makes someone less of a woman, it’s society’s definition of ‘woman’ that might make someone feel that way.”
