Clementine Ford
“Not purposefully contributing to the oppression felt by people already marginalised by the system doesn't make me a champion of human rights.

I might not be actively making things worse for another human being, but that doesn't mean I'm doing anything to make things better.

What it might mean is that I maintain a conscious neutrality on the social circumstances which make their lives harder while enjoying the benefits that come my way simply because those systems are designed in my favour.”
Clementine Ford, Fight Like a Girl

Ava Dellaira
“Laurel, you couldn't have saved your sister. But, love, you've got to save yourself. Do that for me, okay? Because you are worth it.”
Ava Dellaira, Love Letters to the Dead

“Women contributed to families with our learning and skills, just as any other adult, and when we wished to have children we chose our most trusted male relative - a brother or an uncle, usually - to help raise them within the family. In the Empire, women were forced from their own families and expected to live as a kind of pampered ornament in the home of an unrelated male, who would then take the woman's children as his own. They lived what seemed to me a bizarre, intolerable existence, unable to choose their own lives, careers, or the number, gender or even specific identity of their romantic partners”
Same Hawke

Clementine Ford
“For me, feminism isn't just about gender equality as an end goal, because that implied that the structures we live under currently are the correct ones and the only problem with them is that women do not experience equity beneath them. I disagree. I am in favour of reimagine what out societies should look like, including the ways in which masculine ideas of power and leadership are absorbed as natural and normal. Feminism is also about liberating women from the expectation that we behave in a certain kind of way in order to be taken seriously or given any kind of power at all, however nominal it might be.”
Clementine Ford, Fight Like a Girl

Clementine Ford
“I learned about 'patriarchy', which is the overriding system we all live under whereby men are privileged and generically imbued with the power of dominance.”
Clementine Ford, Fight Like a Girl
