I also had nightmares. Somehow all the feelings I didn't feel when each thing had actually happened to me I did feel when I slept.

Heterosexual intercourse is the pure, formalized expression of contempt for women's bodies.

I have to ask you to resist, not to comply, to destroy the power men have over women, to refuse to accept it, to abhor it and to do whatever is necessary despite its cost to you to change it.

Any violation of a woman's body can become sex for men; this is the essential truth of pornography.

In my own life, I don't have intercourse. That is my choice.

We have a double standard, which is to say, a man can show how much he cares by being violent-see, he's jealous, he cares-a woman shows how much she cares by how much she's willing to be hurt; by how much she will take; how much she will endure; how suicidal she's prepared to be.

If pornography releases sexual tension, why don't we send recipe books to the starving?
