Women actually have children and men don't. You cannot get away from that. So that when it comes to a sexual relationship, it has to be something different for a woman. Every time she fucks she could be completely changing her life....Which is unfair-- but it's life. And I think the good old die-hard women's lib sort of person did refuse to admit that.
--Diana Athill (1917- ), British editor and memoirist, quoted in the UK Guardian, 5 Ja nuary 2008
