“Butterfield 8, with its call-girl heroine working her way down the alphabet of men from Amherst to Yale, appeared at a very formative moment in my adolescence and impressed me forever with the persona of the prostitute, whom I continue to revere. The prostitute is not, as feminists claim, the victim of men, but rather their conqueror, an outlaw, who controls the sexual channels between nature and culture.” MenWayMomentsCultureGirlForeverClaimsVictimFeministImpressedAdolescenceProstitutionPersonaConquerorHeroinesAlphabetOutlawYale Author:Camille Paglia
“The first thing I ever thought of when I thought of Buffy , the movie, was the little...blonde girl who goes into a dark alley and gets killed, in every horror movie. The idea of Buffy was to subvert that idea, that image, and create someone who was a hero where she had always been a victim. That element of surprise ... genre-busting is very much at the heart of both the movie and the series.” FirstsHeartLittlesIdeasGirlDarkHeroHorrorElementsVictimSeriesSurpriseGenreBlondeAlleysElement Of SurpriseBustingDark AlleysBlonde Girl Author:Joss Whedon
“Turbulent childhood, adolescent daydreams in the drone of the bus's motor, mornings, unspoiled girls, beaches, young muscles always at the peak of their effort, evening's slight anxiety in a sixteen-year-old-heart, lust for life, fame, and ever the same sky through the years, unfailing in strength and light, itself insatiable, consuming one by one over a period of months the victims stretched out in the form of crosses on the beach at the deathlike hour of noon.” YearsHeartLightFormYoungGirlHoursEffortMorningSkyChildhoodMonthsPeriodsFameAnxietyCrossesVictimLustEveningBeachMusclesBusMotorConsumingDaydreamingNoonSixteenInsatiableDronesThrough The YearsLust For LifeSixteen Year Olds Author:Albert Camus

“Perhaps this is how girls fall -- not in some crime of enchantment at the hands of a wicked ne'er-do-well, a grand before and after in which they are innocent victims who have no say in the matter.

“I do plead with the mothers of Zion to undertake modesty in dress. We may like to follow the fashion, but let us follow it in modesty. The most precious thing that a girl has is her modesty and if she preserves this in dress, in speech, in action, it will arm, and protect her as nothing else will. But let her lose her modesty, and she becomes a victim of those who pursue her, as the hare is of the hound; and she will not be able to stand unless she preserves her modesty.” IfsMayAbleActionMotherGirlLosesFashionArmsProtectSpeechDressesVictimPursuePreservesModestyHaresHoundsPrecious ThingsZion Author:L.
