Quote #4

"I don't know about you but I can't shoot a gun… I've never even tried. To be honest… I wouldn't trust any of those guys to wash my clothes." (329)

Lori's decidedly not a feminist. She believes a woman's place is in the home, or in the part of the camp involving laundry. She hasn't shot a gun and she doesn't seem to have any desire to try.

Quote #5

"It isn't about women's rights… it's about being realistic and doing what needs to be done." (330)

She elaborates on her previous stance: it's about being realistic. Women shooting guns! How silly. Who's ever seen that happen?
