  6. "Sexuality is often the source of our deepest oppression; it is also often the source of our deepest pain. It’s easier for us to talk about—and formulate strategies for changing—discrimination in employment, education, and housing than to talk about our exclusion from sexuality and reproduction”. Anne Finger, Forbidden fruit. New Internationalist, 233, pp. 8 –10, 1992, P. 9.
