Goodbye to All That (Reprise)
“No more well-meaning ignorance, no more cooptation, no more assuming that this thing we’re all fighting for is the same; one revolution under man, with liberty and justice for all. No more. Let’s run it down. White males are most responsible for the destruction of human life and environment on the planet today. Yet…”1 “[w]hite women prefer white men to the exclusion of everyone else—and Asian and Hispanic women prefer them even more exclusively. These three types of women only respond well to white men. More significantly, these groups’ reply rates to non-whites is terrible.”2

"..women become sullied not just when we have sex, but when we dare to have sex with non-white men. I have received this message from childhood... If you grant a brown or black cock access to your body, you're somehow contaminated, tainted, no longer 'pure' white yourself."

"Victorian feminists' admiration for empire and their identification with its racial and cultural ideals shaped a nineteenth-century women's movement with recognizably imperial concerns and sympathies. Although a fully developed imperial feminist rhetoric did not emerge until the early twentieth century, British feminists exhibited an imperial worldview from the 1860s onward. For in addition to privileging the role of British women in the national-imperial enterprise, Victorian and Edwardian feminist writers relied on images of Eastern, and especially Indian, women to bolster a variety of arguments about female emancipation."

"Although a considerable body of research explores alterations in women's mating-relevant preferences across the menstrual cycle, investigators have yet to examine the potential for the menstrual cycle to influence intergroup attitudes. We examined the effects of changes in conception risk across the menstrual cycle on intergroup bias and found that increased conception risk was positively associated with several measures of race bias."

"No doubt this implies powers of discrimination and taste on the part of the female which will at first appear extremely improbable; but by the facts to be adduced hereafter, I hope to be able to shew that the females actually have these powers."
