Janet Fitch Quotes
I nodded. A man's world. But what did it mean? That men whistled and stared and yelled things at you, and you had to take it, or you get raped or beat up? A man's world meant places men could go but not women. It meant they had more money,and didn't have kids, not the way women did, to look after every second. And it meant that women loved them more than they loved the women, that they could want something with all their hearts, and then not.
Fitch, Janet. White Oleander. Little, Brown and Company, 1999.
This quotation illustrates what a misogynist Limbaugh was. An Italian “study” claimed that there was a difference in penis size. The study was never replicated and the results are very doubtful. However, the notion that the cause and responsibility for male sexual size shrinkage is feminism is so physiologically absurd that his irrationality over gender issues becomes clear.
Janet Fitch is most famously known as the author of the Oprah's Book Club novel White Oleander, which became a film in 2002. She is a graduate of Reed College.
