Because women’s work is never done and is underpaid or unpaid or boring
or repetitious and we’re the first to get fired and what we look like is
more important than what we do and if we get raped it’s our fault and
if we get beaten we must have provoked it and if we raise our voices
we’re nagging bitches and if we enjoy sex we’re nymphos and if we don’t
we’re frigid and if we love women it’s because we can’t get a “real” man
and if we ask our doctor too many questions we’re neurotic and/or pushy
and if we expect childcare we’re selfish and if we stand up for our
rights we’re aggressive and “unfeminine” and if we don’t we’re typical
weak females and if we want to get married we’re out to trap a man and
if we don’t we’re unnatural and because we still can’t get an adequate
safe contraceptive but men can walk on the moon and if we can’t cope or
don’t want a pregnancy we’re made to feel guilty about abortion and…for
lots of other reasons we are part of the women’s liberation movement.
