“Nowhere is woman treated according to the merit of her work, but rather as a sex. It is therefore almost inevitable that she should pay for her right to exist, to keep a position in whatever line, with sex favors. Thus it is merely a question of degree whether she sells herself to one man, in or out of marriage, or to many men!... The economic and social inferiority of woman is responsible for prostitution.” MenShouldSocialSexLinesPayEconomicPositionDegreesResponsibleSellsFavorsTreatedInevitableMeritOne ManProstitutionInferiority Book:Anarchism: Top Crime Collections Source: Anarchism: Top Crime Collections
“[M]any females would, even assuming complete economic equality between the sexes, prefer residing with males or peddling their asses on the street, thereby having most of their time for themselves, to spending many hours of their days doing boring, stultifying, non-creative work for somebody else, functioning as less than animals, as machines, or, at best - if able to get a "good" job - co-managing the shitpile. What will liberate women, therefore, from male control is the total elimination of the money-work system, not the attainment of economic equality with men within it.” IfsMenAbleJobsSexHoursAnimalCreativeEconomicStreetsFemaleMachinesAssumingMalesBoringSpendingAssGood JobAttainmentEliminationCreative WorkEconomic EqualityPeddling Author:Valerie Solanas

“What is the problem of women's freedom? It seems to me to be this: how to arrange the world so that women can be human beings, with a chance to exercise their infinitely varied gifts in infinitely varied ways, instead of being destined by the accident of their sex to one field of activity--housework and child-raising. And second, if and when they choose housework and child-raising to have that occupation recognized by the world as work, requiring a definite economic reward and not merely entitling the performer to be dependent on some man.” IfsMenWorldWayHumansChildrenProblemSeemsSexChanceHuman BeingsEconomicFieldsExerciseActivityRewardsAccidentsDependentOccupationPerformersDefiniteDestinedHouseworkIfs And Author:Crystal Eastman
