“But seriously – how is this a good example of womanhood? How is this something we should be propping up and praising? Think about the women in your life – your mom, your aunts, your grandmothers, your sisters, your daughters, your nieces, your friends. Would you like ANY of them reduced to one small part of their anatomy? Would you tell them to their faces that they are nothing more than a walking life support system for their vaginas? ‘Cause that’s the message that feminism is sending to women the world over.I thought feminists cared more about a woman’s mind and heart, and less about her body parts....Ladies, we are so much more than our body parts. Don’t take Hollywood airheads like Cate Blanchett as your life example.”

“This is just another reason for these “women” (and I use the term loosely) to be gross and obscene and call it a “political statement.” It’s not helpful. If anything, it’s demeaning and insulting to women who think with more than our genitals and who are concerned with issues bigger than our ladyparts. But by all means, keep acting the fool. All you’re doing is exposing yourselves for what you really are. The rest of us want no part of your nonsense.”

“Perhaps the most conspicuous one [pattern] he [Jonathon Green] found was how consistent, and how unsettling, the themes of our genitalia words have remained over time. As green told reporters shortly after his study was published, “The penis is often going to be some kid of weapon, the vagina some kind of narrow passage, intercourse some way of saying ‘man hits woman.”

“Overall it’s really clear that the way we talk about genitals is a super concentrated representation of how we thing about sex and gender,” he [Lal Zimman] tells me. “The research that people have done on heteronormative gender naming really shows that our worst cultural values are reflected in the ways we talk about genitals. Like penises are always weapons that exist for penetrating, sex is always violence, and women and vaginas are passive and absence, just a place to put a penis.”

“Głowa pozbawiona była twarzy. Z trawy szczerzyła do nas zęby otłuszczona, poplamiona czaszka. Do boków i tylnej części głowy wciąż przylegały fragmenty gnijącej skóry i mięśni. Dla specjalisty od kości takiego jak ja (minęło jeszcze wiele lat, nim ukuto termin „antropolog sądowy”) brak tkanki na twarzy jest sprzyjającą okolicznością, która ułatwia mu zadanie. Spieszę z wyjaśnieniem: skóra na ciele martwego człowieka może wprowadzić w błąd. Jeśli zwłoki są rozdęte, tkanki na twarzy mogą obrzmieć, co utrudni określenie płci. Jeśli brakuje genitaliów – bo ciało zostało rozczłonkowane, uległo rozkładowi lub zostało częściowo zjedzone przez zwierzęta – lub jeśli tkanka miękka jest już w stanie głębokiego rozkładu, kształt kości będzie najwiarygodniejszym źródłem informacji.”
