“La objetivación de la mujer es tan predominante que no la percibimos y en la juventud nos esclaviza. El feminismo no nos ha salvado de esa esclavitud. Solo nos libramos con la edad, cuando nos convertimos en seres invisibles y ya no somos objeto de deseo, o cuando alguna tragedia nos sacude hasta los huesos y nos confronta con lo fundamental de la existencia.”

Underpinning them was the belief that the grim reality of impending death can be talked away by trying to invest in the present reality of life. I didn’t believe that at the time, but now I do.

“Choose a life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers... Choose DSY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit crushing game shows, stucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away in the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself, choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that?”
