Hallie Rubenhold
“Just as it did in the nineteenth century, the notion that the victims were 'only prostitutes' seeks to perpetuate the belief that there are good women and bad women; madonnas and whores. It suggests that there is an acceptable standard of female behaviour and those that deviate from it are fit to be punished. Equally, it assists in reasserting the double standard , exonerating men from wrongs committed against such women. These attitudes may not feel as prevalent as they were in 1888, but they persist - not proffered in general conversation... but, rather integrated subtly into the fabric of our social norms.”
Hallie Rubenhold, The Five: The Lives of Jack the Ripper's Women

“National Socialism brought dream and conformism together into something satanic. Each”
Milton Sanford Mayer, They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933-45

“It's not always easy to convince someone a need exists, if they don't have that need themselves.”
Caroline Criado Perez, Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men

Hallie Rubenhold
“When a woman steps out of line and contravenes the feminine norm, whether on social media on on the Victorian street, there is a tacit understanding that somone must put her back in her place. Labelling the victims as 'just prostitutes' permits writing about Polly, Annie, Elizabeth, Kate and Mary Jane even today to continue to disparage, sexualize and dehumanize them; to continue to reinforce values of madonna/whore.”
Hallie Rubenhold, The Five: The Lives of Jack the Ripper's Women

Caroline Criado Pérez
“One of the most important things to say about the gender data gap is that it is not generally malicious, or even deliberate. Quite the opposite. It is simply the product of a way of thinking that has been around for millennia and is therefore a kind of not thinking. A double not thinking, even: men go without saying, and women don't get said at all. Because when we say human, on the whole, we mean man.”
Caroline Criado Perez, Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men
