Quote preview background for Laura Bates
A slut isn__ a person, it__ in the eye of the beholder. Like beauty, or an annoying eyelash. We decide who a girl is based on something she__ done (or even just rumoured to have done) and then brand her with it as if it__ a permanent part of her identity. Guys, on the other hand, get to wear their relationships and __onquests_ like medals or badges of honour, which are much easier to take off, and hurt a lot less.

I earnestly wish to point out in what true dignity and human happiness consists. I wish to persuade women to endeavor to acquire strength, both of mind and body, and to convince them that the soft phrases, susceptibility of heart, delicacy of sentiment, and refinement of taste, are almost synonymous with epithets of weakness, and that those beings are only the objects of pity, and that kind of love which has been termed its sister, will soon become objects of contempt.
