I think biologically we are attracted to more than one person, but given society and our needs, monogamy works better.

I'm sure it's why I'm such an odd duck in my feminist generation, because I've always been equally fair to men.

Because society would rather we always wore a pretty face, women have been trained to cut off anger.

After sex, men fear too much intimacy; they want to separate again. Women want to talk, to continue the merging, melting fusion into one. Postcoital conversations keep the woman's power alive. Through unconscious severance, by falling asleep, the man regains his self.

No man can be really free in bed with a woman who is not.

When I stopped seeing my mother with the eyes of a child, I saw the woman who helped me give birth to myself.

Inside every adult male is a denied little boy.
