Anything written for an audience of mostly women by a community of mostly women is subversive, reflective of the current sexual, emotional, and political status, and actively embraces and undermines that status simultaneously.

About This Quote

Women are not the property of men. Women have the right to express themselves in any way they see fit, and if men don’t like it, that is their problem. I think this quote is very true when you read the book written by women for women called “Fight Club.” Masculinity is a reflection of many things but to forget that men and women are individuals and express themselves in their own ways would be a mistake.
