“Some people think that men are drawn to younger girls because of the beauty of our youth, but ever since I’ve known that I admire women, I’ve also known this to be untrue. I have never in my life seen a woman who was at her most beautiful before the age of twenty-five; I doubt I ever shall. Men like young girls precisely because we are young. We are moldable still in a way that grown women who have formed their own opinions are not.”
― Betsy Cornwell, Reader, I Murdered Him

“Who I dislike more than the church are the religious posers who take the parables of the Bible and use them as a weapon to hurt and control women. They’re like a Christian mullet—religion in the front, evil in the back.”
― Erin Gibson, Feminasty: The Complicated Woman's Guide to Surviving the Patriarchy Without Drinking Herself to Death
