“Hoy corremos detrás de la información sin alcanzar un saber. Tomamos nota de todo sin obtener un conocimiento. Viajamos a todas partes sin adquirir una experiencia. Nos comunicamos continuamente sin participar en una comunidad. Almacenamos grandes cantidades de datos sin recuerdos que conservar. Acumulamos amigos y seguidores sin encontrarnos con el otro. La información crea así una forma de vida sin permanencia y duración.”

“Radical feminist theorists do not seek to make gender a bit more flexible, but to eliminate it. They are gender abolitionists, and understand gender to provide the framework and rationale for male dominance. In the radical feminist approach, masculinity is the behaviour of the male ruling class and femininity is the behaviour of the subordinate class of women. Thus gender can have no place in the egalitarian future that feminism aims to create.”

“Men explain things to me, still. And no man has ever apologized for explaining, wrongly, things that I know and they don't.”

“Rape culture is an environment in which rape is prevalent and in which sexual violence against women is normalized and excused in the media and popular culture. Rape culture is perpetuated through the use of misogynistic language, the objectification of women’s bodies, and the glamorization of sexual violence, thereby creating a society that disregards women’s rights and safety. Rape culture affects every woman. Most women and girls limit their behavior because of the existence of rape. Most women and girls live in fear of rape. Men, in general, do not. That’s how rape functions as a powerful means by which the whole female population is held in a subordinate position to the whole male population, even though many men don’t rape, and many women are never victims of rape.”
