Status Updates From Madona v krznenem plašču

Neither of us spoke. And how I savoured that silence, even as I ate myself up, rack-ing my brain for something to say. But my beautiful thoughts had deserted me. The more I searched for them, the more my mind emptied out, until it was nothing more than a throbbing, piteous piece of meat. But when I glanced over at her, I saw not a trace of agitation. She had her dark eyes fixed on the ground before her.

“…yang paling tidak bisa saya terima adalah bahwa wanita selalu harus bersikap jinak di hadapan pria. Mengapa? Mengapa selalu kami yang menyerah dan kalian yang menaklukkan? …mengapa ada semacam dominasi, dan dalam penolakan kami ada kelemahan? Sejak kecil saya selalu begini, saya tidak pernah bisa menerimanya.”
