“almost every woman i have ever met has a secret belief that she is just on the edge of madness, that there is some deep, crazy part within her, that she must be on guard constantly against ‘losing control’ — of her temper, of her appetite, of her sexuality, of her feelings, of her ambition, of her secret fantasies, of her mind”
— Elana Dykewomon “Notes for a Magazine"
“The penis” is not the basis for women’s oppression, actually.
Oppression, a social phenomena, being based on socioeconomic factors rather than physical or biological ones? Wild.
So no one is oppressed based on physical or biological factors?
