“In capitalism, sex can exist but only as a productive force at the service of procreation and the regeneration of the waged/male working and as a mean of social appeasement and compensation for the misery of everyday existence.”

“Typical of the new bourgeois sexual morality was Martin Luther’s injunction to the nuns to leave the convents and get married, as marriage and the production of an abundant prole was in his view women’s fulfillment of God’s will and their ‘highest vocation.’ “Let them bear children to death,” he apparently declared. “They are created for that.”

No sixteenth-century political or religious authority expressed this sentiment as crudely as Luther, but the restriction of women’s sexuality to marriage and procreation, together with wifely unconditional obedience, was instituted.”

    Women are not commodities. We cannot be reduced to slurs. We cannot be reduced to objects. We refuse to be reduced to background images.

    Any language, culture, person, or ideology that attempts to reduce us must be dismantled by force and without sympathy. We owe no one our bodies, time, or lives.

    You are not entitled to any woman.
