It is absurd if something that is fundamental for humanity and for its survival should in itself be defined as submission. That would mean that society can't carry on without the submission of women.

I never wanted to express my independence by dressing in a particularly masculine way or appear particularly boyish.

This life is only the anteroom of a greater reality to come.
