About this Quote

This quote by feminist author Kate Millett highlights the double requirement that females deal with when it comes to their sexuality. Society frequently labels ladies as "prudes" if they pick not to take part in sexes, while those who do are often stigmatized as "prostitutes." This quote exposes the unjust and limiting expectations put on females, where they are evaluated and shamed no matter their options. Millett's words also shed light on the societal pressure for females to conform to a specific standard of habits, instead of being allowed to make their own options without fear of judgement. Overall, this quote serves as an effective commentary on the continuous battle for ladies's sexual liberation and autonomy.
