Rabbit {Paint me like one of your 19th century gothic heroines!}’s Reviews > Backlash: The Undeclared War Against Women > Status Update

Wow. It's sad to see how little has changed.

This book is depressing the fuck out of me. :/

I'm having an I hate people moment. :/

This book depresses and angers me on how little things have changed since the early 90's when this was published. This book is still extremely relevant, which is sad.

"You hear feminists talk, and the last ten, twenty years you hear women talking about fucking men rather than be fucked, to be crass about it. It's kind of unattractive, however liberated and emancipated it is. It kind of fights the whole wife role, the whole child-bearing role. Sure you got your career and your success, but you are not fulfilled as a woman." -Adrian Lyne

Yeah I'm not watching any of Adrian Lyne's movies. "He had already made up his minds about unmarried career women. 'They are sort of overcompensating for not being men. It's sad, you know, because it kind of doesn't work.' "
