The Cows

by Dawn O'Porter

I think when you’ve truly mastered the skill of enjoying your own company, happiness just comes.

Women can’t keep complaining about how society treats them if they just take being told they’re wrong all the time and don’t react. You telling me Janis was an arsehole is fine, but I’m not the one who sees her every day and lets her get away with it. Do something, say how you feel. Nothing changes if you don’t.’

I think women need to stop talking about how hard being a woman is and live by the example they want to set.

As an individual, you can change the world; why wait for someone else to try to change it for you?

You have the power to shape your own destiny, you have the power to dictate how people treat you. You have the power not to be made to feel small, put down, or intimidated.

Everything that happens to you is in your control, because you control how you respond. Don’t apologise for who you are, and don’t take shit. Don’t be a victim. Feminism needs you to step up. Get what you want. Just go out there, and take it.

no matter how big your life is, how far you spread your wings, when it comes down to it, it’s a tiny unit that really matters. As long as that is strong, so are you. I have my tiny unit, and I feel pretty indestructible right now.

The world flips and changes constantly; the best we can do is remain ourselves.
