“[P]ourquoi fabriquent-ils en Angleterre des avions de plus en plus gros, des bombes de plus en plus lourdes et en même temps des pavillons individuels pour la reconstruction? Pourquoi dépense-t-on chaque jour des millions pour la guerre et pas un sou pour la médecine, pour les artistes, pour les pauvres? Pourquoi les gens doivent-ils souffrir la faim tandis que dans d'autres parties de monde une nourriture surabondante pourrit sur place? Oh, pourquoi les hommes sont-ils si fous? On ne me fera jamais croire que la guerre n'est provoquée que par les grands hommes, les gouvernants et les capitalistes, oh non, les petites gens aiment la faire au moins autant, sinon les peuples se seraient révoltés contre elle depuis longtemps!”

“Compulsory sexuality is a set of assumptions and behaviors that support the idea that every normal person is sexual, that not wanting (socially approved) sex is unnatural and wrong, and that people who don’t care about sexuality are missing out on an utterly necessary experience.”

“The label of asexual should be value neutral. It should indicate little more than sexual orientation. Instead, asexual implies a slew of other, negative associations: passionless, uptight, boring, robotic, cold, prude, frigid, lacking, broken. These, especially broken, are the words aces use again and again to describe how we are perceived and made to feel.”
