My top three feminist exploitations of male-default language: 1. “Valar morghulis. All men must die.” “Yes, but we are not men.” - Daenerys, Game of Thrones 2. “No man can kill me!” “I am no man!!!!” - Eowyn, LotR: Return of the King 3. “God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs.” “Dinosaurs eat man. Woman inherits the earth.” - Dr. Ellie Sattler, Jurassic Park

Although history should not become a straitjacket, which overwhelms and binds, neither should it be forgotten. One must critique it, test it, confront it, and understand it in order to achieve a freedom that is more than license, to achieve true, adult agency. If you penetrate the seduction … then it becomes possible to confront your own history—to forget what ought to be forgotten and use what is useful—such true agency is made possible.

Toni Morrison, The Art of Fiction No. 134, interviewed by Elissa Schappell in “The Paris Review” no. 128 (Fall 1993): http://bit.ly/1DqKd2K (via theparisreview)
