Quote by Janice G. Raymond

“Women have learned a lot about life through our bodies. Our life history has been lived in our sexed bodies. Dworkin knew that the ‘learning’ women gain from our lives is not some feeling, essence, or ‘ineffable idea’ that men can claim. This learning about a woman’s life is not driven by biology but also not detached from our biology, a material condition in which our bodies help shape the circumstances of our lives. Our bodies are the sites of our oppression.”

“[...] incels intentionally work to convince other incels that raping women is a justified response to sexual rejection, so too do the men who claim their penises are ‘lady sticks’. Just as dissatisfied men adhere to the incel creed of beliefs, self-declared lesbians (men) insist that women owe them sex, and that there is something wrong with a world in which women have the power of rejection. There is an incelian feel to the gangs of self-declared women.”

“Women are not only being censored but also attacked for words that make trans activists uncomfortable, starting with the very word woman. Instead of woman we are hammered with demeaning terms such as cis-women, menstruators, front holes and TERFs. Given the fact that women worldwide have traditionally been denigrated by words not of our own making such as slut, cunt, and whore — misogynistic slurs that have belittled us for centuries — we are now being called upon to accept further offense by trans activists who find the actual word ‘woman’ blasphemous.”

“By accepting the pro-sex work position that prostitution is a ‘choice’, advocates have consigned prostituted women to a segregated class of women who are kept in systems of sexual exploitation that pass for benevolent institutions, especially in those countries and states where the prostitution industry is legalized or decriminalized. So-called ‘progressive’ LGBT+ organizations are in the vanguard of advocating the decriminalizing of prostitution, where brothels, pimping and sex buyers are the building blocks of an ever-expanding sexual exploitation industry that has ravaged the lives of women through a romanticizing of ‘free choice’, a ‘choice’ that is not free for the thousands of women who are abused in the industry.”

“If I like to highlight the correspondence between misandry and feminism, it's for the simple reason that it took me several years of moving in feminist circles to develop my dislike of men, to be comfortable with it, and to stop trying to hide it even in the company of my close male friends. It was, I think, the regular practice of feminism that allowed me to develop a basic level of assertiveness and self-confidence.”
