1 " I could kill him and leave his body in the dirt where no one would spot it from the highway. Like he's a woman. Like he's one of a million dead women. "Why did he have a drink with her if he didn't want it?" "Why did he let her into his truck?" "Why did he go off with her if he wanted to say no?" "What did he expect to happen?" You really have to be smarter if you don't want to get murdered by strange women. I smirk into the sunlight and wonder why there aren't more female serial killers. It would be such a simple job. "
― Victoria Helen Stone , Problem Child (Jane Doe, #2)
2 " People always call women manipulative, and I count my skills as a point of pride, but constant manipulation for sex is considered normal for men. Their behavior isn’t called manipulative, of course. Or sneaky. It’s not even twisted or deceptive or plain old lying. It’s just the way it’s supposed to be. They want sex and they’ll do anything to get it. "
3 " Even love comes with strings attached. We fall in love with people because of how they make us feel. We don’t just fall in love with any random kind person we encounter. It’s more than admiration. It’s sizzling need. Your need, not theirs. Your crush, your wants, your desire for them. Everyone is a monster, as far as I can tell. I’m not alone in this. "
4 " I don’t know this song, and it sounds like filtered shit, but the noise makes me feel like I’m at a party. "
5 " sit quietly and “stop being a little cunt.” That’s a fun word to learn when you’re six. You can really shut down a whole first-grade classroom with that one. "
6 " That’s the reason we give when a grown man has sex with an underage girl. She was troubled. She was fast for her age. She was the aggressor. She wanted it. She wasn’t even a virgin. She thought she was grown. She’s done this before. "
