Je suis ce genre de femme qu'on n'épouse pas, avec qui on ne fait pas d'enfant, je parle de ma place de femme toujours trop tout ce qu'elle est, trop agressive, trop bruyante, trop grosse, trop brutale, trop hirsute, toujours trop virile, me dit-on.

El feminismo es una aventura colectiva, para las mujeres pero también para los hombres y para todos los demás. Una revolución que ya ha comenzado. Una visión del mundo, una opción. No se trata de oponer las pequeñas ventajas de las mujeres a los pequeños derechos adquiridos de los hombres, sino de dinamitarlo todo.

I find it strange that today, when so many people walk around with tiny computers in their pockets -- cameras, phones, personal organizers, iPods--there exists no object at all to slip into your pussy when you go out for a stroll that will rip up the cock of any fucker who sticks it in there.

Waking into a room, checking whether there are men in it, wanting to please them. Not talking to loud. Not being forceful. Not sitting with your legs splayed to be more comfortable. Not speaking with authority. Not talking about money. Not wanting a position of authority. Not seeking glory. Not laughing too loud. Not being too funny. Pleasing men is a complex art, which requires that one should eliminate anything remotely concerned with power.
~ Virginie Despentes

cuando afirmamos que la prostitución es una «violencia contra las mujeres» es para que olvidemos que es el matrimonio lo que constituye una violencia contra las mujeres y, de modo general, todo lo que aguantamos.
~ Virginie Despentes
I am writing as an ugly one for the ugly ones: the old hags, the dykes, the frigid, the unfucked, the unfuckables, the neurotics, the psychos, for all those girls who don't get a look in the universal market of the consumerable chick. I'm making no excuses for myself. I'm not complaining. I would never swap places, because it seems to me that being Virginie Despentes is a more interesting business than anything else going on out here.
