Gail Dines
“To be “unmanly” is, of course, within our gender binary system, to be feminine, and here lies the essence of gender socialization for males: they need, at all times, to distance themselves as much as possible from anything constructed by the culture as feminine. The feminine hence becomes feared—and that which we fear, we also learn to despise.”
Gail Dines, Pornland: How Porn Has Hijacked Our Sexuality

Andrea Dworkin
“I'm a veteran of Birkenau and Massada and deep throat, uncounted rapes, thousands of men, I'm twenty-seven, I don't sleep. They leave the shell for reasons of their own. I have no fear of any kind, they fucked it out of me some time age, it's neither here nor there, not good or bad, except girls without fear scare them.”
Andrea Dworkin, Mercy

“Laura Palmer as a metaphorical image represents every woman who has gone through sexual assault. I would ask people to listen to her and see her image for what it is and take her seriously. I don’t think that we ever have. FWWM was dismissed by critics. It took years upon years to finally accept that it was a good movie. Sheryl Lee’s career disappeared after that. All of this is because people did not listen to Laura Palmer.”
Courtenay Stallings, Laura's Ghost: Women Speak About Twin Peaks

Andrea Dworkin
“Woman is not born; she is made. In the making, her humanity is destroyed. She becomes symbol of this, symbol of that: mother of the earth, slut of the universe; but she never becomes herself because it is forbidden for her to do so.”
Andrea Dworkin, Pornography: Men Possessing Women

A.B. Poranek
“She had a warmth, a light, that drew me into her orbit—I was a moth and she a flame, I the tides and she the moon. Whatever we were, she was always, always the light, and I the thing skulking in the dark.”
A.B. Poranek, A Treachery of Swans
