“

So here’s the part where you make a choice. What if you could have that power…now? In every generation, one Slayer is born…because a bunch of men who died thousands of years ago made up that rule. They were powerful men. But this woman is more powerful than all of them combined. So I say we change the rule. I say my power…should be our power.

From now on, every girl in the world who might be a Slayer will be a Slayer. Every girl who could have the power will have the power. Can stand up, will stand. Slayers, every one of us.

“But I think the problem now is much more subtle than it used to be, and sexism – if you like, chauvinism – is not as obvious; it doesn’t hit you over the head, maybe. It’s very insidious, very subtle, the ways that women might still be kept down.”

“

The laundry can wait. So can the dishes.
Our emails and mobile phones too.
We could sit naked by the window
if we dared, or we could catch the news.
I could watch you struggle not to doze
off during the sports announcements.
There will be plenty of time for sleep.

Since you asked, the plants are watered.
The light has stopped flickering, since
I replaced the bulb. Who knows, the dishes
might clean themselves after we are gone.
How about if we add an extra hour
to our day, so we may fill it with sighs?
There will be plenty of time for sleep.

For now, let us settle into the dimness
of evening, our talk like the passing
of a melody from one instrument
to another. Are you worried about how
early you would have to go to work
tomorrow? Take a breath. Look at me.
There will be plenty of time for sleep.
