“La psychologue Marie Pezé voit un lien direct entre les postes de subordination qu’elles occupent et le harcèlement, les agressions sexuelles qu’elles subissent”

“I came to realize that a female employee is more afraid of losing her job than a prostitute is of losing her life. An employee is scared of losing her job and becoming a prostitute because she does not understand that the prostitute’s life is in fact better than hers. And so she pays the price of her illusory fears with her life, her health, her body, and her mind. She pays the highest price for things of the lowest value. I now knew that all of us were prostitutes who sold themselves at varying prices, and that an expensive prostitute was better than a cheap one. I also knew that if I lost my job, all I would lose with it was the miserable salary, the contempt I could read every day in the eyes of the higher level executives when they looked at the lesser female officials, the humiliating pressure of male bodies on mine when I rode in the bus, and the long morning queue in front of a perpetually overflowing toilet.”

“Revolutionary men with principles were not really different from the rest. They used their cleverness to get, in return for principles, what other men buy with their money.”
― Nawal El Saadawi

“De nos jours, l’État n’organise plus des exécutions publiques de prétendues sorcières, mais la peine de mort pour les femmes qui veulent être libres s’est en quelque sorte privatisée : quand l’une d’elles est tuée par son compagnon ou son ex-compagnon”
