Andrea Dworkin
“The argument between wives and whores is an old one; each one thinking that whatever she is, at least she is not the other.”
Andrea Dworkin

bell hooks
“Young girls often feel strong, courageous, highly creative, and powerful until they begin to receive undermining sexist messages that encourage them to conform to conventional notions of femininity. To conform they have to give up power.”
bell hooks, Communion: The Female Search for Love

Andrea Dworkin
“Men hate intelligence in women. It cannot flame; it cannot burn; it cannot burn out and end up in ashes, having been consumed in adventure. It cannot be cold, rational, ice; no warm womb would tolerate a cold, icy, splendid mind. It cannot be ebullient and it cannot be morbid; it cannot be anything that does not end in reproduction or whoring. It cannot be what intelligence is: a vitality of mind that acts directly in and on the world, without mediation.”
Andrea Dworkin, Right-Wing Women
