Quote by Andrea Dworkin
Wild intelligence abhors any narrow world; and the world of women

Wild intelligence abhors any narrow world; and the world of women must stay narrow, or the woman is an outlaw. No woman could be Nietzsche or Rimbaud without ending up in a whorehouse or lobotomized. – Andrea Dworkin
