Yes, well... [ She places her palms outward. ] Before this little incident, it was kept under a very tight leash. Only a select few knew of our intentions and the Syndicate wouldn't dare reveal our intentions. The fear of their own being revealed prevented them from even attempting a threat, they had nothing to hold above our heads.
After all, what sounds more plausible? An alien invasion covered up by the government or a utopia of women that uses their facilities to create a new world? You would have more of a chance with people believing the former than the latter, which gave us all the benefits. [ Marita seems to recognize that it may sound ridiculous, or at least an outlandish attempt, but everything has worked in their favor up to this point. Why wouldn't she believe it to be an excellent plan? ]
Men are unwilling to give up their power, Mr. Mulder. Women have asked for a compromise all of our lives, built on a society that always favors the male population because of written history, of societal laws created from the very beginning of time, only to always be seen as inferior. Men enjoy their superiority, they find it comfortable... why would they ever risk compromise for something they had in the first place?
[ Her gaze grows colder as if she could turn him into an ice sculpture from staring at him long enough. ] Men never bother to ask women for a compromise, why should we?
