About this Quote

This quote by Penelope Spheeris is a commentary on the power dynamics in between males and females. It suggests that when men have money and power, they end up being sexually aroused. This implies that men use their money and power to acquire sexual gratification, which is an example of the patriarchy in action. It likewise indicates that guys are more likely to be sexually excited by power than by females, which is a form of objectification. The quote also indicates that guys are not aware of the ramifications of their actions, which is why Spheeris states "Can't envision why, though". This quote is a reminder that cash and power can be used to control and exploit females, and that males should understand the implications of their actions.
