[ID: excerpt from The gender of sound, Anne Carson
“Putting a door on the female mouth as been an important project of patriarchal culture from antiquity to present day. Its chief tactic is an ideological association of female sound with monstrosity, disorder and death.”
poetry line by Meggie Royer @writingsforwinter
“A woman’s first blood doesn’t come from between her legs but from biting her tongue.”
excerpt from Hunger makes me, Jess Zimmerman
“The low-maintenance woman, the ideal woman, has no appetite. This is not to say that she refuses food, sex, romance, emotional effort; to refuse is petulant, which is ironically more demanding. The woman without appetite politely finishes what’s on her plate, and declines seconds. She is satisfied and satisfiable.”
excerpt from The unruly woman: Gender & the genres of laughter, Kathleen Rowe
“…voices in any culture that are not meant to be heard are perceived as loud when they do speak, regardless of their decibel level.”] 💔
