" I really liked it.” She covers her mouth in horror.
“If I like sex, do you think it means I can’t be a feminist?”
“No.” I shake my head. “Because being a feminist -- I think it means being in charge of your sexuality. You decide who you want to have sex with. It means not trading your sexuality for… other things.”
“Like marrying some gross guy who you’re not in love with just so you can have a nice house with a picket fence.”
“Or marrying a rich old geezer. Or a guy who expects you to cook him dinner every night and take care of the children,” I say, thinking of Samantha.
“Or a guy who makes you have sex with him whenever he wants, even if you don’t,” Miranda concludes.
We look at each other in triumph, as if we’ve finally solved one of the world’s great problems. "
