“We all know that it is women who make the decisions, but we have to let men think that the decisions are theirs. It is an act of kindness on the part of women.”

“Anyone who says that women do not have influence in men's decisions makes a vast and stupid mistake.”

“Let's talk about a decision that women have to make every morning- Big purse or little purse?”

“But deciding not to have children is a very, very hard decision for a woman to make: the atmosphere is worryingly inconducive to saying, "I choose not to," or "it all sounds a bit vile, tbh." We call these women "selfish" The inference of the word "childless" is negative: one of lack, and loss. We think of nonmothers as rangy lone wolves--rattling around, as dangerous as teenage boys or men. We make women feel that their narrative has ground to a halt in their thirities if they don't "finish things" properly and have children.”

“We all know we're going to die; what's important is the kind of men and women we are in the face of this.”

“Women might not like to admit their age, but men don't like to act theirs.”
