“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

“We spend too much time teaching girls to worry about what boys think of them. But the reverse is not the case. We don’t teach boys to care about being likable. We spend too much time telling girls that they cannot be angry or aggressive or tough, which is bad enough, but then we turn around and either praise or excuse men for the same reasons. All over the world, there are so many magazine articles and books telling women what to do, how to be and not to be, in order to attract or please men. There are far fewer guides for men about pleasing women.”
― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, We Should All Be Feminists

“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

“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
