Jia Tolentino
“When you are a woman, the things you like get used against you. Or, alternatively, the things that get used against you have all been prefigured as things you should like. Sexual availability falls into this category. So does basic kindness, and generosity. Wanting to look good—taking pleasure in trying to look good—does, too.”
Jia Tolentino, Trick Mirror

Irina Dunn
“A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.”
Irina Dunn

“Beauty, like gender, is relational; women have been obliged to remain forever young so that men can delude themselves that they are not ageing themselves.”
Victoria Dutchman-Smith, Hags: The Demonisation of Middle-Aged Women

Rebecca West
“That shows how impossible it is to be a woman. One's whole life depends on one's looks but one mayn't speak of one's own beauty”
Rebecca West

Michael Parenti
“The basic distortions in the media are not innocent errors, for they are not random; rather they move in the same overall direction again and again, favoring management over labor, corporatism over anti-corporatism, the affluent over the poor, private enterprise over socialism, Whites over Blacks, males over females, officialdom over protesters, conventional politics over dissidence, anticommunism and arms-race militarism over disarmament, national chauvinism over internationalism, US dominance of the Third World over revolutionary or populist nationalist change. The press does many things and serves many functions but its major role, its irreducible responsibility, is to continually recreate a view of reality supportive of existing social and economic class power.”
Michael Parenti, Inventing Reality: The Politics of News Media
