Clementine Ford (Clementine Shepherd Ford) Quotes
In our current society, it is considered a weakness to be female and a treason to protest this.

That of all the unfair things associated with women - the violence and insults, the financial oppression, the very undermining of our worth as human beings - it is the acknowledgement of these inequalities that gives us some kind of unfair advantage over the men who benefit from them.
