"Every woman knows what I'm talking about. Itâ€™s the presumption that makes it hard, at times, for any woman in any field; that keeps women from speaking up and from being heard when they dare; that crushes young women into silence by indicating, the way harassment on the street does, that this is not their world.

-- Rebecca Solnit
