Instead of getting hard ourselves and trying to compete, women should try and give their best qualities to men — bring them softness, teach them how to cry. – Joan Baez, “Sexism Seen but not Heard,” Los Angeles Times, 1974

Marriage is for women the commonest mode of livelihood, and the total amount of undesired sex endured by women is probably greater in marriage than in prostitution. – Bertrand Russell, Marriage and Morals
