“But by far the worst thing we do to males—by making them feel they have to be hard—is that we leave them with very fragile egos. The harder a man feels compelled to be, the weaker his ego is.”
― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, We Should All Be Feminists

“We teach girls shame. “Close your legs. Cover yourself.” We make them feel as though being born female they’re already guilty of something. And so, girls grow up to be women who cannot say they have desire. They grow up to be women who silence themselves. They grow up to be women who cannot say what they truly think. And they grow up — and this is the worst thing we do to girls — they grow up to be women who have turned pretense into an art form.”
― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, We Should All Be Feminists

“The sad truth of the matter is that when it comes to appearance, we start off with men as the standard, as the norm. Many of us think that the less feminine a woman appears, the more likely she is to be taken seriously. A man going to a business meeting doesn’t wonder about being taken seriously based on what he is wearing—but a woman does.”

“كثيــراً جداً ما سألت نفســـي عن ســر إغترابي النفســـي و نقصان طمأنينتي في المناسبات الإجتماعية. و دائمــاً ما كنتُ أقول في وحدتـــي لنفسي أني أبدو وحيـــداً كـــشجرة تفـــاح نبتت وسط الصحـــراء و كــم دعوت الله أن أكــون شجــرة صبار نبتت وسط الصبــار.”
