- I don’t want to disempower you. - Oh yeah? - If you want disempowerment, you go right back to Mother India. See how they treat women there. Or didn’t you notice all those little ultrasounds blipping away so people can go in and say “Oh my God, it’s a girl!” and flush her out and abort her. - They’re more honest. - Excuse me? - They’re more honest in their hatred of women. - I don’t hate women. I love ladies. - "Ladies.” You wouldn’t know any. I’ll bet you date little Barbie dolls, don’t you? “Oh! You’re so brainy! Oh you’re so big! Can I suck your dick?” Can I be alone now?
Holy Smoke, Jane Campion (1999)
