Ruby Rose Quotes

It is a truth universally acknowledged that from puberty onwards, the female body is disgusting and unruly and must be tamed, trimmed and tinted to within an inch of its life before it can be allowed to roam freely in the public eye.

No matter what a woman's appearance may be, it will be used to undermine what she is saying and taken to individualize - as her personal problem - observations she makes about the beauty myth in society.

When we get married or interviewed for a job or play professional sports or run for president of the United States, we encounter a whole set of standards and expectations.

So many women characters are extensions of male fantasy.

I'm more comfortable modelling as a man because I don't get any criticism.

It's so irritating, because male rappers don't have to have a look. A guy can look like a bum on the street, but as a male, people will accept him because he's a rapper. But females, they expect you to have a big booty. They expect you to walk in six-inch heels.

All the news articles focus on how I look. They certainly don't do that to men.

I felt like I had to be conscious of myself as a girl for the first time. I had to be more feminine. I had to look a certain way.

Some boys accepted me, some didn't. And my family had comments made to them. Brazil is still a very macho society, and sports are mainly for boys, so people would say to them: 'What is this girl doing? Why is she always out there in the soccer games with the boys?'

They had always told me that I wrote like a man.
