Jessica Valenti Quotes About Parents

• The less obvious hurdle is that of preparing parents emotionally and putting forward realistic images of parenthood and motherhood. There also needs to be some sort of acknowledgement that not everyone should parent - when parenting is a given, it's not fully considered or thought out, and it gives way too easily to parental ambivalence and unhappiness.

• My parents have a wonderful marriage, but they have been together since my mother was 12, married when they were just teenagers and are barely ever separated. They even work together. As a result, I have always thought of marriage as involving the loss of a certain amount of autonomy.

• Las mujeres jóvenes saben que algo no va bien; saben que el mundo es un lugar desastroso. Saben que el mundo es un lugar sexista porque han tenido experiencias en su propia vida; ven que les pasan cosas a sus amigas, a sus padres. Pero como el feminismo no está ampliamente aceptado, porque no tienen necesariamente acceso al pensamiento feminista o a grupos feministas, no tienen necesariamente un lenguaje para expresar los sentimientos y los pensamientos que tienen. Y, desde luego, no tienen un sistema de apoyo que les diga: "Oye, no pasa nada; tienes razón, es una putada".
