Quote by Andrea Dworkin
The fact that we are all trained to be mothers from infancy on means that we are all trained to devote our lives to men, whether they are our sons or not; that we are all trained to force other women to exemplify the lack of qualities which characterizes the cultural construct of femininity.
Summary
This quote emphasizes that societal norms and upbringing play a significant role in shaping women's lives. It suggests that women are socialized from an early age to fulfill traditional roles and expectations, particularly as mothers who prioritize the needs and desires of men. Furthermore, it suggests that this indoctrination leads to the perpetuation of a narrow and limited definition of femininity, denying women the opportunity to fully express themselves and constraining their interactions with other women.
