This quote is spot on but I can’t see Sylvia Plath saying that.

It may not be her - full disclosure I didn't fact check the quote! Just thought the sentiment was accurate and hence shared it.
My apologies if it's not accurate in terms of the author.

This quote was actually said by a woman named Porphyria R’lyeh, but it’s been misquoted for years.

Women are worthy of respect. Honor my boundaries and treat my experiences and desires with value or we cant be friends, much less partners.

I wish she had said it- poor woman had her life cut short by a LVM (Ted Hughes) who drove her AND HIS NEXT WIFE AND HIS SON to suicide. Fucking scrote. Edit: spelling

Uggggh I hate this almost as much as the quote about Marilyn Monroe talking shit about size zero when it literally didn't exist until she had passed. 😡

Who started this being a Silvia plath quote? Really interesting that this started being a thing. Does not sound anything like plath at all.
But she did say:
Being born a woman is my awful tragedy. From the moment I was conceived I was doomed to sprout breasts and ovaries rather than penis and scrotum; to have my whole circle of action, thought and feeling rigidly circumscribed by my inescapable feminity. Yes, my consuming desire to mingle with road crews, sailors and soldiers, bar room regulars--to be a part of a scene, anonymous, listening, recording--all is spoiled by the fact that I am a girl, a female always in danger of assault and battery. My consuming interest in men and their lives is often misconstrued as a desire to seduce them, or as an invitation to intimacy. Yet, God, I want to talk to everybody I can as deeply as I can. I want to be able to sleep in an open field, to travel west, to walk freely at night...

Pretty much sums up the modern dating culture. Sad.
