“A friend said to me, “Hey you need to grow a pair. Grow a pair, Bro.” It’s when someone calls you weak, but they associate it with a lack of testicles. Which is weird, because testicles are the most sensitive things in the world. If you suddenly just grew a pair, you’d be a lot more vulnerable. If you want to be tough, you should lose a pair. If you want to be real tough, you should grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding.”

“What feminism means for me is simply that women, like men, are complete human beings with limitless possibilities.”

“I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat.”

“Afrika'nın haritası nasıl o toprakların gerçekliğini yok sayarak sadece işgalcilerin kendi çıkarları doğrultusunda çizilmişse, anne-orospu ikiliği de kadın bedenine aynı şekilde cetvelle çizilmiş gibidir. "Doğal" bir süreçten değil politik bir iradeden kaynaklanır. Kadınlar, birbirleriyle bağdaşmayan iki seçenek arasında kalmaya mahkum edilmiştir. Erkeklerse başka türde bir ikilikte sıkışmışlardır: Onları azdıran şey bir sorun olarak kalmalıdır.”
