Jaclyn Friedman
“A slut is someone, usually a woman, who’s stepped outside of the very narrow lane that good girls are supposed to stay within. Sluts are loud. We’re messy. We don’t behave. In fact, the original definition of “slut” meant “untidy woman.” But since we live in a world that relies on women to be tidy in all ways, to be quiet and obedient and agreeable and available (but never aggressive), those of us who color outside of the lines get called sluts. And that word is meant to keep us in line.”
Jaclyn Friedman

Anastasia Pash
“While many of us pursue comfort through upgraded plane tickets, luxurious hotels, and fine dining experiences, authentic comfort runs deeper. It encompasses how we carry ourselves, express our unique identities, and navigate the complex web of culture and fashion in diverse destinations.”
Anastasia Pash, Travel With Style: Master the Art of Stylish and Functional Travel Capsules

Roman Payne
“I’d loved women who were old and who were young; those extra kilos and large rumps, and others so thin there was barely even skin to pinch, and every time I held them, I worried I would snap them in two. But for all of these: where they had merited my love was in their delicious smell. Scent is such a powerful tool of attraction, that if a woman has this tool perfectly tuned, she needs no other. I will forgive her a large nose, a cleft lip, even crossed-eyes; and I’ll bathe in the jouissance of her intoxicating odour.”
Roman Payne

Susan Griffin, Pornography and Silence: Culture's Revenge Against Nature

Lina J. Potter
“Yes, Lilian Earton was a large woman. She was fat. There was no other word for it. But at the same time, there was something indefinable about her. Was it an inner light? A sparkle in her eyes? The way she spoke and moved and made things move around her? The man couldn’t have said exactly. He didn’t know the word “charisma,” but that was exactly what she had. She had personality that no layers of fat could hide. She was impressive.”
Lina J. Potter, The Clearing

Maria Karvouni
“Men are stronger physically and mentally than women, and men have achieved great things for humanity, but men must limit their ego, and show greater respect towards women, and help women so as all together to help humanity progress.”
Maria Karvouni

Sankar
“বিগত একশ বছরের দৈনন্দিন ইতিহাস দেখুন আপনার সমাজের। যে-মেয়ে বেঁকে বসেছে সে অধঃপতিত হয়েছে। 'খারাপ' মেয়ের শিরোপা মিলেছে তার। মেয়েমানুষ 'খারাপ' হলে সারানোর চেষ্টা করা হয় না এই সমাজে, একেবারে ফেলে দেওয়া হয় তাকে।

আপনি বনসাই সম্বন্ধে লিখেছেন? বড় গাছকে চেপেচুপে কায়দা করে ছোট করা - 'মিনিয়েচারাইজেশন'। আমাদের প্রত্যেকটা মেয়ে এক একটি বনসাই- বিরাট বটবৃক্ষ হয়ে নিজেকে বিকশিত করে পৃথিবীকে সমৃদ্ধ করতে পারত, কিন্তু তার বদলে ছোট্ট একটি ট্রেতে অতি ক্ষুদ্রাকারে পরিণত হয়ে বিশেষ কোনো এক অপদার্থ বাঙালি নবাব বাহাদুরের দৈনন্দিন কামনা-বাসনার পরিতৃপ্তি ঘটাচ্ছে।”
Sankar, মুক্তির স্বাদ

“It’s what my female body was meant for, right? Take male shit, waste, filth, sperm.
And in this brain, in this
Womb, grow something better.
Form a new line,
Reclaim the story as mine.
But as strong as I am,
It will be a long, long time Until I grow this
Into something worthwhile.”
Cassiopeia Friel

“I see no dishonor in a woman selling her body to support her children; the dishonor lies with a society that has placed her in that position.”
Siddharth Katragadda, The Other Wife: A Novel in Verse

Audre Lorde
“oppressed people's are always being asked to stretch a little more, to bridge the gap between blindness and humanity ...(33)”
Audre Lorde, The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House

Teresa de la Parra
“Just why, Maria Eugenia, must you always mix holy things, godly things, with your nonsense?
This is the second time now that you’ve said that foolishness about how you'll be applying lipstick on Judgment Day!”
Teresa de la Parra, Iphigenia - Teresa de la Parra

Stephanie Dray
“...I reached for my robe, and that's when he shouted, 'I saw you first, Frances. Finders keepers!'
I froze hearing those words. Quite possibly the worst words he could have paired with a declaration of love. Did he think I was a possession--a lucky penny he'd found on the sidewalk and now claimed for his own?
If that was what he thought of women, I began to wonder if he'd ever been a believer in suffrage. Maybe he'd just gone along to win my affections. And now he proposed marriage--which gave a man such power over his wife. Power he was plainly not responsible enough to wield.”
Stephanie Dray, Becoming Madam Secretary
