“Coitus can scarcely be said to take place in a vacuum; although of itself it appears a biological and physical activity, it is set so deeply within the larger context of human affairs that it serves as a charged microcosm of the variety of attitudes and values to which culture subscribes. Among other things, it may serve as a model of sexual politics on an individual or personal plane.”
― Kate Millett, Sexual Politics

“A man would lose nothing, in terms of workload, if the distribution of care work were completely socialized instead of being performed by his wife. In structural terms, there would be no antagonistic or irreconcilable interests. Of course, this does not mean that he is aware of this problem, as it may well be that he is so integrated into sexist culture that he has developed some severe form of narcissism based on his presumed male superiority, which leads him to naturally oppose any attempts to socialize care work, or the emancipation of his wife. The capitalist, on the other hand, has something to lose in the socialization of the means of production; it is not just about his convictions about the way the world and his place in it, but also the massive profits he happily expropriates from the workers.

“La tercera dimensión de la justicia es lo político. Por supuesto, la distribución y el reconocimiento son también algo político en el sentido de que una y otra sufren el rechazo y el peso del poder; y normalmente se las ha contemplado como si requirieran el arbitraje del Estado. Pero yo entiendo lo político en un sentido más específico y constitutivo, que remite a la naturaleza de la jurisdicción del Estado y a las reglas de decisión con las que estructura la confrontación. Lo político, en este sentido, suministra el escenario en donde se desarrollan las luchas por la distribución y el reconocimiento. Al establecer los criterios de pertenencia social, y al determinar así quién cuenta como miembro, la dimensión política de la justicia especifica el alcance de las otras dos dimensiones: nos dice quién está incluido en y quién excluido del círculo de los que tienen derecho a una justa distribución y al reconocimiento mutuo.”

“In the world men seem to exercise power, but all of that comes to nothing in the face of the lust provoked by a woman. Whatever he does to her, she is still more powerful than he is because he wants her, he needs her, he is being driven by a desire for her. In the sexual woman-superior model, power is articulated as being intrinsically female because power is redefined beyond reason, beyond coherence: as if power is in the corpse that draws the vultures.”
