The New Women! I
could barely recognise them as being of the same sex as myself, their buttocks
arrogant in tight jeans, openly inviting,
breasts falling free and shameless and feeling no apparent obligation to smile,
look pleasant or keep their voices low. And how
they live! Just look at them to know how! If a man doesn’t bring them to
orgasm, they look for another who does. If by
mistake they fall pregnant, they abort by vacuum aspiration. If they don’t like
the food, they push the plate away. If the job
doesn’t suit them, they hand in their notice. They are satiated by everything,
hungry for nothing. They are what I wanted to be;
they are what I worked for them to be: and now I see them, I hate them.
― Fay Weldon, Praxis, Ch. 2, 1978
Serão livres para serem desagradáveis e egoístas, poderia ter lutado pela sua liberdade e não gostar do que estão a fazer com ela, e ser livre para não gostar, seguir outro caminho e ser igualmente capaz
