"Controllers of birds discovered long ago that to keep their prey forever captive, they simply clipped their wings or removed their feathers. Since that discovery, the very same principle has been applied to womanhood, ensuring that the species remains servant to its masculine master. Men who wished to control their women found that by removing their clothes, divesting them of all real power, subsuming their identity under their surname, belittling their pride and making them into 'mother machines' and 'wifely whores' was the most effective way of caging them from flying beyond their grasp and ensuring that all manner of freedom had been seized from them."
