I just finished reading a book by Mr.Rushdie, which I haven't quite figured out yet. His way of writing is either brilliant or just totally stupid. I won't comment any further on the content of his book rather than quoting a short passage from it:
He came to her once a year and ordered her to get ready, because it was time to plant the seed, until she felt like a vegetable patch whose naturally fertile soil was being worn out by an over-zealous gardener, and understood that there was no hope for women in the world, because whether you were respectable or not the men got you anyway, no matter how hard you tried to be the most proper of the ladies the men would come and stuff you full of alien unwanted life.
Make what you want of the quote. I felt both amused as well as sad by the statement. Surely it's not that in real life, in parts of the world? Is it?
