Everything, really everything, has been codified in terms of male needs – even our underwear, sexual practices, maternity. A young woman I’m very fond of said to me: it’s always a problem with men, I’ve had to learn not to overdo. The “too” of men produces general admiration and positions of power. Even today, after a century of feminism, we can’t fully be ourselves, don’t belong to ourselves. Is it possible, people say to me at times, that you don’t know even one bitch?
