Teoría King Kong / King Kong Theory

«Escribo desde la fealdad, y para las feas, las viejas, las camioneras, las frígidas, las mal folladas, las infollables, todas las excluidas del gran mercado de la buena chica, pero también para los hombres que no tienen ganas de proteger, para los que querrían hacerlo pero no saben cómo, los que no son ambiciosos, ni competitivos, ni la tienen grande. Porque el ideal de la mujer blanca, seductora, que nos ponen delante de los ojos es posible incluso que no exista.»

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

King Kong Theory is one of the great reference books on feminism and gender theory, an incisive essay in which Despentes shares her own experience to speak to us openly and uncompromisingly about prostitution, rape, the repression of desire, motherhood, and pornography, and to contribute to the collapse of the patriarchal foundations of society today.

“I write from ugliness, and for the ugly, the old, the truck drivers, the frigid, the badly fucked, the un-fuckable, all those excluded from the great market of the good girl, but also for men who don’t feel like protecting, for those who would like to but don’t know how, those who are not ambitious, not competitive, and don’t have big dicks. Because the ideal of the white, seductive woman that is put before our eyes may not even exist.”
