"Habits of deference can be broken. Submission can be refused; and I refuse it." - Andrea Dworkin
"The substitution of the elementary for the Elemental in women’s lives is illustrated in the patriarchal control of women’s creativity. Thus, our speech is controlled by manners and lethal custom into polite, shallow verbiage." - Mary Daly, ‘Pure Lust’ (p19)
"When you’re lying, you’re greatest enemy is the person who reveals what’s true. I’ve gone through my life with people saying to me, ‘You are soooooo smart!’ No one says to a man, ‘You are soooooo smart!’” Her intelligence, she observed, “makes people angry, and it threatens them—and then it makes people read you as angry. You know,” she concluded, “I’m supposed to be inferior, and the fact that I’m not makes people very upset.”
Valerie, Bette’s coworker and crush, tells Bette, “You are so smart. You have so many strengths. And yet, you can’t make your life work. After some serious study and consideration, I finally have figured out why.” Valerie then dispenses her own truth—a truth that both Bette and Schulman already know, and yet will continue to run up against as long as they maintain their ethics. “You want truth from people. You want them to be accountable. But they will never, ever take responsibility for what they really feel and do.”
- Sarah Schulman
