"After several years of diligent, genuine research, I finally came to the conclusion: womanhood is whoredom. You can dress it up as seduction, tart it up as glamour. Pleasing men is a complex art that involves erasing everything that concerns power. Don't talk too loud. Don't make categorical remarks. Don't spread your legs and get comfortable when you sit down. Don't talk about money. Don't be too funny. A good listener. Not a brilliant intellectual. Just clever enough to understand what some foppish dickhead is talking about. Gossiping is feminine. Anything that doesn't leave a trace.
"Meanwhile, men have no bodies. They can neither be old nor fat. Any skanky, balding, booze-addled, potbellied fucktard is entitled to make vicious comments about the physical attributes of girls he doesn't find sexy, or sleazy comments if he's frustrated that he hasn't got a chance of fucking her."
