Kate Millett
Aren't women prudes if they don't and prostitutes if they do?
Kate Millett
The rationale which accompanies that imposition of male authority euphemistically referred to as 'the battle of the sexes' bears a certain resemblance to the formulas of nations at war, where any heinousness is justified on the grounds that the enemy is either an inferior [part of the] species or really not human at all.
Kate Millett
Isn't privacy about keeping taboos in their place
Kate Millett
one of the blessings of adulthood is that one is no longer addressed as a thing.
