"I JUST KNEW IN A QUIET WAY I WAS RUINED. 
IF I AGREED TO BE FEMALE. THERE WAS SO MUCH EVIDENCE
ON THE SCREEN AND IN BOOKS. I READ DORIS LESSING 
IN LITERATURE CLASS AND THAT DEPRESSED THE SHIT 
OUT OF ME TOO. I JUST HATED READING WORK BY WOMEN 
OR ABOUT WOMEN BECAUSE IT ALWAYS ADDED UP THE SAME. 
LOSS OF SELF, ENDLESS SELF-ABNEGATION EVEN AS THE FEMALE 
WAS TRYING TO BE AN ARTIST, SHE WOUND UP PREGNANT, DESPERATE,
WAITING ON SOME MAN. A MARXIST GUY, PERHAPS. WHEN WOULD IT END."
Eileen Myles, in her foreword to I Love Dick, by Chris Kraus


S. Kubrick 1948
