“La globalización de la lucha feminista conlleva el horror y la emoción de observar que en cualquier parte puede suceder lo mismo: muerte y revolución y maltrato y sororidad y violencia y batalla. Elegid un país, el que sea: allí también hay violaciones, maltratos, asesinatos. Elegid otro país, no importa cual: allí también habrá resistencia.”

“Women have evolved, and we are starting to recognize our strength and the influence that comes with it. We are beginning to realize that in this day and age, submissiveness does not allow us to have the upper hand, but obtaining the respect of a man does.”

“Of the cultural causes of misogyny, rejection of or guilt about sex is the most obvious. It leads naturally to the degradation of woman as the sexual object and the projection onto her of lust and the desire to seduce, which a man must repress in himself. At the same time that he denigrated woman’s sexual function, the preoccupation with sex resulting from the attempt to repress desire is apt to make him see her exclusively as a sexual being, more lustful than man and not spiritual at all….Misogyny can also develop as a result of the idealization with which men have glorified women as mistresses, wives, and mothers. This has led to a natural reaction, a desire to tear down what has been raised unduly high.”

“The male student flung up his hands in exasperation. “For the last time, Marie-Delphine, I never said women didn’t like all porn,” obviously attempting to clarify some earlier statement he’d made. “I’m saying that they don’t like this kind of stuff. It’s so... degrading and demeaning. I can’t believe that someone who fights so hard for equal representation in the wizarding world isn’t able to see that.” “I see it,” the dark-skinned woman shot back, “and I happen to think it's goddess-damned hot. Just because a woman likes a little of the rough shit in the bedroom doesn’t preclude her from being able to harness the primordial forces of creation.”

“I'll tell you the fairy tale of the apple. Eve ate the apple, and then Adam came and did so too. Afterwards the apple was forgotten, and it was assumed that it rolled away in the grass while Adam and Eve were chased out of the garden. But that's not true, because secretly the apple rolled in between Eve's legs, scratched open her flesh and burrowed into her crotch. It stayed there with the white bite marks facing out, and after a while the fruit-flesh started to shrivel, and mould threads grew from the edges of the peel. The mould threads became pubic hair and the bite mark became the slit between the labia. Soon all of Eden followed the apple's example and started to decompose and rot, and since then this has happened in all gardens and everything in nature, and honey mushrooms came into existence, and rot and parasites and beetles arose. But the apple was first, and it never stops rotting, it just gets blacker. The apple has no end, just like this fairy tale.”
