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.
