The Laugh of the Medusa

i am making this my manifesto, i will make everyone read this because oh god, this is the best literary work i've read about feminism. i always loved how second wave french feminists talked about the body and linguistics. wearing the assigned role and accepting that she is the chaos, i am actually loss of words and come and gather my thoughts sometime else. just, wow.

"Besides, isn't it evident that the penis gets around in my texts, that I give it a place and appeal? Of course I do. I want all. I want all of me with all of him. Why should I deprive myself of a part of us? I want all of us." !!!!!!!!!

"Woman must write her self: must write about women and bring women to writing, from which they have been driven away as violently as from their bodies".

Such an important reading! ✨🌼🌼🌼
