“People will not forget. Or
forgive. An ugly girl is too great an offense. Trust me, I am old and have
seen much. Why, I鈥檝e seen a dishonest girl who stole a king鈥檚 ransom of
jewels be forgiven because of her pretty smile. And a violent girl who
robbed coaches at gunpoint walk out of jail because of her long black
lashes. Why, I even knew a murderous girl who escaped the gallows
because she had full lips and dimples and the judge fell head over heels for
her. But an ugly girl? Ah, child, the world is made for men. An ugly girl can
never be forgiven.”

“Exploitation is real and identifiable and fighting it makes you strong, not weak. And sexual violence is real, and it is intolerable and fighting it makes you strong, not weak. And women-hating is real and its systematized in pornography, and in acts of sexual violence against women, and fighting it makes you strong, not weak. And the right and the left both weather it鈥檚 Phyliss Schlafly who鈥檚 lecturing on how, if you had been virtuous, you wouldn鈥檛 have been sexually harassed or the left thats explaining to you that you should celebrate your sexuality and forget about rape. Forget about it, don鈥檛 have a bad attitude, don鈥檛 feel like a victim. They both want women to accept the status quo, to live in the status quo, and not to organize the political resistance(that i talked about earlier.) Because the first step in resisting exploitation is recognizing it, seeing it and knowing it and not lying about where it is sitting on you. And the second step is enough caring about other women. That if today, you are fine, and yesterday, you were fine, but your sister hanging from the tree is not fine, that you will go the distance to cut her down.”
