  • Show me a woman who doesn't feel guilty and I'll show you a man.
  • Beware of the man who denounces woman writers; his penis is tiny and he cannot spell.

  • Growing up female in America. What a liability! You grew up with your ears full of cosmetic ads, love songs, advice columns, whoreoscopes, Hollywood gossip, and moral dilemmas on the level of TV soap operas. What litanies the advertisers of the good life chanted at you! What curious catechisms!
