Annabelle Williams (2021): Why women are poorer than men and what we can do about it, p. 169

"Bear in mind that there is nothing enjoyable about being a prostitute. One has only to listen to how the well fed bourgeois and his wife talk with contempt of the depraved factory women and girls, and with what hypocritical disgust these ladies who have never known poverty pronounce the word “prostitute”. Bourgeois professors shamelessly go into print to assert that prostitutes are not slaves but are people who have chosen to take that road! It is the same hypocrisy that insists that no one prevents a worker from leaving a given factory where it is impossible to breath, what with the dust, poisonous vapours, heat, and so on. They “voluntarily” remain working there for 16 to 18 hours a day."" Nadezhda Krupskaya, The Woman Worker (1899)

We buy it because whether it’s a myth or a manipulation, let’s face it, we all want to fall in love, right? Why? Because that experience makes us feel completely alive.  Where every sense is heightened, every emotion is magnified, our everyday reality is shattered and we are flung into the heavens. It may only last a moment, an hour, an afternoon; but that doesn’t diminish its value. Because we’re left with memories that we treasure for the rest of our lives.
