More Quotes from Andrea Dworkin:
Men are distinguished from women by their commitment to do violence rather than to be victimized by it.Andrea Dworkin
By the time we are women, fear is as familiar to us as air it is our element. We live in it, we inhale it, we exhale it, and most of the time we do not even notice it. Instead of 'I am afraid,' we say, 'I don't want to,' or 'I don't know how,' or 'I can't.'
