“The problem with gender is that it prescribes how we should be rather than recognizing how we are.”
― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, We Should All Be Feminists

“لسنا نحن معشر الرجال سوي عبيد مساكين للوهم .اما حين تقرر امرأه مضاجعة أحد الرجال, فليس هناك من حاجز إلا وتجتازه , ولا حصن إلا وتحطمه , ولا اعتبار أخلاقي إلا وتكون مستعده لخرقه من أساسه ,وليس ثمة رب ينفع ”
― Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera

“My own definition is a feminist is a man or a woman who says, yes, there’s a problem with gender as it is today and we must fix it, we must do better. All of us, women and men, must do better.”
― 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.”
