About This Quote

Women have been trained in our culture and society to ask for what we want instead of taking what we want. We've been really indoctrinated with this culture of permission. But that time has passed, and now women are taking back what they want. Joss Whedon recently tweeted about this saying, “Women have been trained in our culture and society to ask for what we want instead of taking what we want.

We've been really indoctrinated with this culture of permission; If we're not asking, we're told it's not OK. And that time has passed.” This is a good point that women in America and across the globe are challenging and challenging to men who would like to take their power away from them.
