“So it is naturally with the male and the female; the one is superior, the other inferior; the one governs, the other is governed; and the same rule must necessarily hold good with respect to all mankind.”
Aristotle
“For a male and female to live continuously together is...biologically speaking, an extremely unnatural condition.”
Robert Briffault
“-I wish there was a manual for females [...]. -If there is, I haven't got my copy.”
Ordo and Kal Skirata (in Republic Commando: True Colors by Karen Traviss)
“There is, hidden or flaunted, a sword between the sexes till an entire marriage reconciles them.”
C.S. Lewis
“It may be the cock that crows, but it is the hen that lays the eggs.”
Margaret Thatcher
“I do not want to be the leader. I refuse to be the leader. I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want a man lying over me, always over me. His will, his pleasure, his desire, his life, his work, his sexuality the touchstone, the command, my pivot. I don’t mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically; but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated. I don’t mind being told to stand on my own feet, not to cling, be all that I am capable of doing, but I am going to be pursued, fucked, possessed by the will of a male at his time, his bidding.”
Anais Nin
“In the sex war, thoughtlessness is the weapon of the male, vindictiveness of the female.”
Cyril Connolly
