"How to subjugate a body. Control its name. Codify it as taboo. Define it only in relation to an other, never as a primary subject. Frame it's uniqueness as evidence of its inferiority. Exploit it visually as a metaphor for subservience. Classify it as inherently diseased. Preach that it is the source of original sin. Vilify its natural state. Invent the myth of the virgin birth. Worship the myth and condemn those who fail to achieve it. Diagnose its pleasure as unnatural. Treat it first and foremost as a sexual object. Rape it, then hold it responsible for the violence against it. Solicit it for sex; condemn it for selling sex. Celebrate its starvation and mutilation. Use physical force if it does not obey. Control it's reproduction. Devalue its labor. Deprecate its intelligence. Treat it as subhuman, that is (fe)male or (wo)man." - Sophia Wallace
