Quote #10
"You're being inflexible," Dante insisted when I told him I really didn't think I could have the abortion. "This is the nineteen-seventies, not the Dark Ages. Women have fought long and hard for you to exercise this option." (22.7)
Dante's mansplaining is infuriating here. Women fought for the opportunity to choose, not to be told by a man when to have an abortion.
