'Because women’s work is never done and is underpaid or unpaid or boring or repetitious and we are the first to get fired and what we look like is more..."Because women’s work is never done and is underpaid or unpaid or boring or repetitious and we are the first to get fired and what we look like is more important than what we do and if we get raped it’s our fault and if we get beaten we must have provoked it and if we raise our voices we’re nagging bitches and if we enjoy sex we’re nymphos and if we don’t we’re frigid and if we love women it’s because we can’t get a ‘real’ man and if we ask our doctor too many questions we’re neurotic and/or pushy and if we expect childcare we are selfish and if we stand up for our rights we are aggressive and ‘unfeminine.’"
—Joyce Stevens, International Woman's Day 19751of 35
