"The argument between wives and whores is an old one; each one thinking that whatever she is, at least she is not the other"

- Andrea Dworkin

About this Quote

In this quote, feminist author Andrea Dworkin highlights the social pressure put on women to conform to certain roles and labels. The "argument" she refers to is the continuous comparison and competitors in between ladies, particularly in between other halves and sex employees. Dworkin recommends that both groups are judged and decreased the value of by society, with other halves being seen as reputable but oppressed, and sluts being viewed as unethical and degraded. However, Dworkin also explains that each female thinks she is better off than the other, clinging to the concept that at least she is not the "other." This quote sheds light on the harmful effects of societal expectations and the need for females to support and boost each other rather of tearing each other down.
