“[Emily se ptá Madison na kluky ta převipráví co jí řekli zákařné spolužačky o rozmnožování] A podle toho co mi řekli, kluci tak zoufale touží líbíat se s holkama z jendoho jediného důvodu: totiž při každé puse jim o něco poporoste frantík. Čím víc holek kluk líbá, tím delšího frantíka nakonec má – a ti klici, kteří se pyšní tím nejdelším, potom získají nejlíp placená místa a neprestižnější pracovní místa. *str185-186*”

Think long and hard before you answer, because you came your brains out last night.” “I—” “Yeah. It’s simple gender inequality, my guy,” I say in that voice Brooklyn always does to make me laugh. “I still don't follow.” “Men expect certain things and usually they get them, but I say fuck that. I almost never get what I want in life. I get some things, but almost everything, even the shit I work really hard for? I know I would get even more if I were a man. Especially a white man.” (pp. 190-191, Kindle Edition)”
