Quote by Asako Yuzuki

“At the weekend, my husband would experiment with smoking bacon on blocks of bricks in the garden, or caramelising kilos of onions at a time, or making curry from scratch. The sort of cooking that men do when it’s a hobby for them, in other words. And it’s fun, all that, because it’s an experiment, a special activity you do when you have the time, and that you don’t mind spending money on.”

“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.”

“Women hold the weight of the world But you still talk down and call me little girl I hate that shit It's a no if she needs to be coerced My body's not an object or dessert I am not your bitch I am not your bitch, wanna see me switch?
