“Prostitution is not just a service industry, mopping up the overflow of male demand, which always exceeds female supply. Prostitution testifies to the amoral power struggle of sex, which religion has never been able to stop. Prostitutes, pornographers, and their patrons are marauders in the forest of archaic night.” AbleNightSexStruggleIndustryDemandFemaleMalesForestsExceedProstitutionPatronOverflowPower StruggleAmoralityService IndustryTestifyingMoppingMopping Up Book:Sexual Personae Source: Sexual Personae

“To confound the tyranny of man there should exist for a century a third sex, both male and female, and stronger than men. This new sex would prove with the lash that men as well as women are made for its pleasure; and then you would hear men protesting against the tyranny of the hermaphrodite sex and admitting that strength should not be the sole rule of right. Just why do they refuse to grant the women the independence which they would demand from the third sex?” MenShouldWellsMadeSexPleasureCenturyDemandProveFemaleThirdsStrongerIndependenceMalesRefuseTyrannyGrantsSoleAdmittingLashesHermaphrodites Author:Charles Fourier
“After all, [female genital mutilation is] a key pillar of institutional misogyny in Islam: its entire purpose is to deny women sexual pleasure.

“Once you stop talking about the female body empowering itself vis-à-vis male forays or invasions or male demands or the necessity to respond to husband and son to bring the issue down to a more concrete level, the body is a different manifestation physically.” DifferentBodyLevelsTalkingIssuesSonHusbandDemandFemaleMalesManifestationEmpoweringConcreteInvasionFemale Body Author:Shirley Geok-lin Lim
“As long as 85,000 women are raped every year and 400,000 sexually assaulted in England and Wales alone, it's hard to argue that there isn't a problem. Not to mention the fact that fewer than 1/3 of our MPs are female, that women write only 1/5 front page newspaper articles, that they're less than 1/10 of engineers and that 54,000 a year lose their jobs as a result of maternity discrimination... to name but a tiny sample of issues.

“The legacy of women's war work is our present post-industrial employment structure. It was the war that created the demand for a technologically advanced, de-skilled, low-paid, non-unionized female workforce and paved the way for making part-time work the norm for married women now. A generation later, it was the daughters of wartime women workers who completed their mothers' campaign for equal pay.” WayWarMotherPayGenerationsDemandEqualMarriedLowsDaughterFemalePaidStructureWorkersEqualityCampaignsEmploymentPostsLegacyNormWorkforcePart TimeWartimeEqual PayMarried Women Author:Linda Grant
“For women... bras, panties, bathing suits, and other stereotypical gear are visual reminders of a commercial, idealized feminine image that our real and diverse female bodies can't possibly fit.
