“Den Mangel an Erzählungen von guten Frauen, mutigen Frauen, respektierten Frauen, wichtigen Frauen, starken Frauen habe ich nicht hinterfragt. Wenn über diese Frauen nicht geschrieben wurde, nicht gesprochen wurde, dann hat das in mir kein Nachfragen ausgelöst: "Wo sind diese Frauen?" Sondern nur ein resigniertes "Es gab diese Frauen nicht." Was nicht stimmt. Es gab sie. Es gab sie, die Frauen, die zusammenhielten, untereinander, und nach und nach kommen die Geschichten zusammen, Frauen schreiben über Frauen und Frauen schreiben für Frauen.”

I burn bridges quick I won't sacrifice my humanity, sanity For the dick, I won't”

Earning my own money, however I chose to, saving it, and spending it in any way I pleased with no one to answer to but myself. It felt like a quiet rebellion, a way of taking control of my own future in a world that didn’t always offer women that kind of freedom.”

"What are labels?" "It's an imaginery sticker people slap on you with the word they think you are written on it. It doesn't matter who they think you are. It matters who you think you are." "I think I might be a geek." She laughed. "Then you be a geek. Just be whatever makes you happy, Soda Pop, and I'll be happy too.”

“Young women going for older men is nothing new, it's been the relationship norm of apekind for thousands of years. In a materialist society, a man's value is measured by his money, not morality, and a woman's value is measured by her flesh, not her mind.”
