Jessica Valenti
“Ignoring men, whether romantically or rhetorically, is existential violence to them.”
Jessica Valenti, Sex Object: A Memoir

Jessica Valenti
“A high school teacher once told me that identity is half what we tell ourselves and half what we tell other people about ourselves.”
Jessica Valenti, Sex Object

Jessica Valenti
“When you look hard enough and long enough at your own face, everything about it starts to seem hideous.”
Jessica Valenti, Sex Object

Judith Butler
“Are we not, ethically speaking, obligated to stop its (violence) further dissemination, to consider our role in instigating it, and to forment and cultivate another sense of a culturally and religiously diverse global political culture?”
Judith Butler, Precarious Life: The Powers of Mourning and Violence

Judith Butler
“Those who commit acts of violence are surely responsible for them; they are not dupes or mechanisms of an impersonal social force, but agents with responsibility. On the other hand, these individuals are formed, and we would be making a mistake if we reduced their actions to purely self-generated acts of will or symptoms of individual pathology of 'evil'.”
Judith Butler, Precarious Life: The Powers of Mourning and Violence
