The lives of women, how frivolous, how unworthy they are, once women make available all their sexual, emotional, intellectual, verbal resources to men. There is nothing left but the constant lie that they are happy, the constant denial of their own humanity. And why is this so? Why must one sex sacrifice itself, while the other profits? It is because men have made the world and they have made it to their liking; they enjoy the benefits it bestows. It would be less beneficial for them - even inconvenient - if women were to cultivate any interests of their own. It would also be psychologically disturbing for a man if he were not the sole centre of a woman's existence.
