“The expectation that models should change in front of people is also a way for the client to exert power. It's both a test and a reminder of your position: everyone else is doing their job; now it's time for you to do yours. The stylist, their assistant, the client or editor, the other models, and sometimes the photographer will stand right in front of you and wait as you strip. You understand that your body is a means for them to accomplish what they're here to accomplish: to make an image to sell whatever it is they're selling. They're in charge of it now, not you. (K-Spa)”

“This kind of caring for oneself is not about caring for one’s own happiness. It is about finding ways to exist in a world that makes it difficult to exist. This is why, this is how: those who do not have to struggle for their own survival can very easily and rather quickly dismiss those who attend to their own survival as being self-indulgent. They do not need to attend to themselves; the world does it for them.”

“If you were born female, you were born on a battlefield. You will be punished for even saying that out loud, but the grim truth is you are going to be punished no matter what for the sin of being female.”
