Want to Read $ 0.99"Not all men!" isn't just a mating call for the lazy and aggrieved, it's also a diversionary tactic used to shift attention away from the substantial issues of discrimination and oppression that impact women's lives and channel it instead into men's feelings ."-Clementine Ford, Boys Will Be Boys: Power, Patriarchy and the Toxic Bonds of Mateship
"Ah yes, the meritocracy. Isn't it amazing how so many of the 'best people for the job' always happen to be white, cis-het, middle-class men? It couldn't be that structural inequality and hierarchal privilege allows for such people to succeed by making their path to power smoother and more accessible than anyone's else's."-Clementine Ford, Boys Will Be Boys: Power, Patriarchy and the Toxic Bonds of Mateship
"What I'm suggesting is that your impulse to assign meaning to something as arbitrary and functional as genitalia is born out of a cultural imperative to affix labels where none are necessary, and that individual participation in these rituals enforces a larger pattern of collective gender stereotyping that ultimately proves harmful for everyone."-Clementine Ford, Boys Will Be Boys: Power, Patriarchy and the Toxic Bonds of Mateship
"It doesn't matter how politically progressive your household is when it comes to aspirations outside the home and the limitless capabilites of women; if it's made clear within those four walls that it is the responsiblity of women to perform the unpaid labour of domesticity, this is the value system that children will internalise: boys are born to rule the world, and girls to clean up after them."-Clementine Ford, Boys Will Be Boys: Power, Patriarchy and the Toxic Bonds of Mateship
