“Male fantasies, male fantasies, is everything run by male fantasies? Up on a pedestal or down on your knees, it’s all a male fantasy: that you’re strong enough to take what they dish out, or else too weak to do anything about it. Even pretending you aren’t catering to male fantasies is a male fantasy: pretending you’re unseen, pretending you have a life of your own, that you can wash your feet and comb your hair unconscious of the ever-present watcher peering through the keyhole, peering through the keyhole in your own head, if nowhere else. You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur.”

Too many feelings about Margaret Atwood, tbh.

An hour ago I was holding this book in my hands and wondering if I should finally start to read it.
I will take this is a sign. That book is about to get read.

an intelligent mind is a sexy mind and to me that is the biggest turn on.
