“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
“The whole point of marriage is to stop you getting anywhere near real life. You think it's a great struggle with the mystery of being. It's more like being smothered in warm cocoa. There's sex, but it's not what you think. Marvellous, for the first fortnight. Then every Wednesday. If there isn't a good late-night concert on the Third. Meanwhile you become a biological functionary. An agent of the great female womb, spawning away, dumping its goods in your lap for succour. Daddy, daddy, we're here, and we're expensive.” IfsThinkingFirstsRealWholeNightSexStruggleMysteryLateFemaleThirdsWarmReal LifeAgentsExpensiveGoodsConcertsDaddyWombLapWednesdayMarvellousLate NightCocoaFortnightGreat Female Author:Malcolm Bradbury

“It's funny when I look at my life; my primary school was two-thirds male to one-third female. So I started my life that way. I have two brothers.

“I write almost always in the third person, and I don't think the narrator is male or female anyway.

“Carnal embrace is sexual congress, which is the insertion of the male genital organ into the female genital organ for purposes of procreation and pleasure.
