“...people cannot be rescued from forms of suffering that they themselves relate to as badges of honor.”
Jane Ward, The Tragedy of Heterosexuality

“First, queer feminists have argued that straight life is characterized by the inescapable influence of sexism and toxic masculinity, both of which are either praised or passively tolerated in straight spaces. Second, queer observers of straight life have pointed to straight women’s endless and ineffective efforts to repair straight men and the pain of witnessing straight women’s optimism and disappointment.”
Jane Ward, The Tragedy of Heterosexuality

“...so many boys and men value other men's approval more than women's humanity, continuing a centuries-old tradition of positioning bros before hoes and using control over women's bodies to earn male respect... and to reroute their disavowed desire for one another through a more socially acceptable object.”
Jane Ward, The Tragedy of Heterosexuality
