The Eloquent Blood Quotes

“Echoing arguments made by first-wave feminists, Crowley writes that patriarchal society has exerted a dual control over women by forcing the poor into prostitution and the rest into unhappy marriages.133 Women have been enslaved, starved, sexually shamed, deprived of their children, Crowley writes, and abandoned by their partners for younger women when they begin to age. He contends that male supremacy operates by turning women against each other, and that women have been enslaved by their socialized altruism to serve others above all else. Unlike the sacrifices of men, however, he writes that women’s sacrifices have been made silently.”
