“C'est pour cette raison que je suis devenue une putain, a-t-elle expliqué en continuant à dessiner. J'avais tellement peur d'être envoyée à l'asile. Je couchais avec tous les hommes que je pouvais trouver. On n'essaie pas de guérir une femme qui couche avec des hommes. On la paie. Le plus drôle, c'était que mes parents, ça les dérangeait pas que j'aille avec des dizaines et des dizaines d'hommes. Ils trouvaient ça moins honteux que d'aller avec une fille. (...) Ne laisse pas un telle chose t'arriver, Betty. N'aie pas peur d'être toi-même. Faut pas que tu vives aussi longtemps pour t'apercevoir à la fin que tu n'as pas vécu du tout.”

“VCs want to hear a visionary pitch, the story of a billion-dollar opportunity that will justify the financial risk required to make it happen. But if a woman does make a visionary pitch, VCs are prone to doubt that she will be able to bring that vision to life. With men, they are more willing to believe that the sky’s the limit.”

“It’s hard not to be inspired and hopeful listening to these young women’s dreams. The girls are already knowledgeable about some of the headwinds that they will face when they open the door to Brotopia. I didn’t feel comfortable telling them about the others. They’ll find out soon enough. What they made clearer than ever was this: The next generation is coming. They expect to have rewarding careers in tech, and they dream of making a dent in the universe, just as the early founders did. When they open the door, let’s welcome them. And change the Valley—and the world—for them and for all.”

“Pictorial advertisements and movies finally did for women what print technology had done for men centuries before. When raising these themes, one is beset by queries of the "Was it a good thing?" variety. Such questions seem to mean: "How should we feel about these matters?" They never suggest that anything could be done about them. Surely, understanding the formal dynamic or configuration of such events is the prime concern. That is really doing something. Control and action in terms of values must follow understanding. Value judgments have long been allowed to create a moral fog around technological change such as renders understanding impossible.”

“Until recently, career women were frowned upon, and those who stayed at home were respected - now the situation has gotten reversed - not better mark you, just reversed. Now career women are respected, and those who give up their career, or step down to a less demanding position, in order to raise a family, are object of ridicule. This is not progress, it’s recurring regress. Substituting one authoritarian cruelty with another is not progress, it’s recurring regress.”

“Abstinența sexuală și punerea responsabilității pe umerii femeilor nu este soluția. Soluția este să discutăm și să educăm tinerii. Educația sexuală să cuprindă și aspectele emoționale și etice ale relaționării între un bărbat și o femeie. Femeile să recunoască semnele unui manipulator și să pună limite sănătoase. [...] Adolescenții să fie educați în spiritul corectitudinii și respectului față de cuplu, iar atitudinile manipulatoare și degradante să fie puse la zid și nu aplaudate.”

“Trainwrecks, as public figures, are necessarily also myths. But they’re the villains of the story; they’re our monsters and demons, images of what we fear, and who we fear becoming. I hated Britney early on, because I hated being forced into the role she seemingly enjoyed playing; I wanted to reject the feminine ideal she supposedly embodied, and I wound up rejecting her. But every wreck is a potential role that women need or want to reject; the magnitude of our hatred for them is determined by how powerfully we fear what they represent. In Britney’s case, she represented the end of youth, and the corruption of purity: She was the pretty, good little girl who became ugly and bad when she grew up, the “Queen of Teen” who was used- up and over-the-hill by age twenty-five. She was the Wages of Feminism, the working mother who tried to have it all and wound up nearly dropping her baby onto the sidewalk. She was the cost of public life, for women.”
