“Women use lovers as they do cards; they play with them a while, and when they have got all they can by them, throw them away, call for new ones, and then perhaps lose by the new all they got by the old ones.”

“Women want a family life that glitters and is stable. They don't want some lump spouse watching ice hockey in the late hours of his eighteenth beer. They want a family that is so much fun and is so smart that they look forward to Thanksgiving rather than regarding it with a shudder. That's the glitter part. The stable part is, obviously, they don't want to be one bead on a long necklace of wives. They want, just like men, fun, love, fame, money and power. And equal pay for equal work.”

“Women want everything of a lover. And too often I would sink below the surface. So armies disappear under sand. And there was her fear of her husband, her belief in her honour, my old desire for self-sufficiency, my disappearances, her suspicions of me, my disbelief that she loved me. The paranoia and claustrophobia of hidden love.”

“Women want their love to be reciprocated in the same way they give it; they want their romantic lives to be as rewarding as they make them for their potential mates; they want the emotions that they turn on full blast to be met with the same intensity; and they expect the premium they put on commitment to be equally adhered to, valued, and respected.”

“Women want to be free to choose from the same range of options that men take for granted. In our quest for equal pay, equal access to education and opportunities, we have made great strides. But until women can move freely and think freely in their homes, on the streets, in the workplace without the fear of violence, there can be no real freedom.”

“Women watched for the spectacular performances of the men, and there can be no reasonable doubt that the presence of an audience is a very important factor in shaping the men's behavior. In fact, it is probable that the men are more exhibitionistic because the women admire their performances. Conversely, there can be no doubt that the spectacular behavior is a stimulus which summons the audience together, promoting in the women the appropriate behavior.”

“WOMEN, WEAR YOUR CROWNS and be ready to WIN the 8th House battle. The story of Venus, Ishtar, is clear in that she won the 8th House battle. She conquered the 8th House with grace. I’d like all women who are suffering at the hands of men to know that I unshakably stand with you in this 8th House battle. You will not take off your crown. You will continue to fight with your crown on. You will not quit. Even when tired, you will fight head on. And you will conquer all 8th House themes experienced through the 8th House Lord, Mars, the male figure. You will come out strong and be rewarded for your undeniable strength. May the spirit of Winnie Madikizela-Mandela be over the women of South Africa who experience GBV; the women of the UK whose rights are stolen in broad daylight; the women of Afghanistan, who literally don’t even have the right to speak; and all women and young girls facing every form of horrific trauma and abuse at the hands of Mars, the male figure. Bafazi, we are the Word. The Word is in us. The Word is us. We existed before they existed. We birthed them. We have more power over them. Just find it in you. Start with the men around you. Educate them. Discuss with them. Debate them. Challenge them. One Mars at a time. Once a woman decides it’s done, it will indeed be done. Aluta continua, bafazi! Amandla kwiimbokodo ezingophukiyo...Amandla!!”

“Women well understood how to restrict birth through timing of sexual intercourse, herbs and abortifacients. I suspect the focus on men's control of women as the means of reproduction came later, in the last five percent or so of human history, with the idea of children as property and labor. One needed to have as many as possible, never mind about women's health or mobility or brainpower. Women's freedom was restricted in order to make sure of the paternity and ownership of children.”
