“There is pain in being a sexual object before you are sexually empowered.”

“But today, the fact that we are so proud of girls who excel in math shows how much we still value math, not how much we've come to value girls.”

“Every day you pick up 400 objects from where you left them the night before, and you start to juggle them again. All of the objects are different sizes, shapes, weights. They all require your constant touch to keep them in motion. They all require a different touch. You juggle a feather, a soup pot, and a belt. You juggle nutrition, empathy, and trash day. You juggle a single piece of paper that you need to sign and return today, that flutters and swoops unpredictably, that falls to the ground. The Fox says, “You are so stupid.”

“Who run the world? Women. Moms. Women run the world. I seriously would not be surprised to learn that gravity is just something that a grandma in Louisville has been handling, quietly, just in the back of her mind, while she makes biscuits for 400 people for the church jamboree.”

“Girls eat vengefully. Have you noticed this? Girls eat salads for revenge on their shorts. Girls eat cheeseburgers for revenge on their judgmental great-aunts. I once gagged while eating a slab of carrot cake that I did not want because an elderly relative had patted my leg with her dry hand and reminded me that I'd soon need to fit into my wedding dress. Boy, I showed her.”

“Where's the trendy new book celebrating a girl who learned how to quilt? Where's the movie about a girl who changed the world with her volunteerism? When the stories that glorify "women's work" make millions, that's when we can start being proud of ourselves. But today, the fact that we are so proud of girls who excel in math shows how much we still value math, not how much we've come to value girls.”

“Girl Blank Face is an evolutionary tool, a mask we pull down when we feel under siege, a way of hiding and defusing and keeping everything even and fine, just fine. I think it's a learned survival mechanism, something girls learn when the first girl in the middle school starts wearing a bra, and the boy who stands behind her in chorus snaps it during the Christmas concert and even the chorus teacher laughs a little.”

“hear moms everywhere I go using words like this – dumb, silly, crazy, stupid – not about their children (we would never say things like that to our children!) but about themselves.”

“Condemn this behavior when they see it? Bitch, please. You won't see it. Not because Harvey Weinstein was like a master of deception. But because he is rich and was powerful and you wanted something from him, and the thing you wanted from him mattered way more than whether he literally chased a young girl around the room and forced her to touch his penis and then she left Hollywood and gave up on her lifelong dream of acting because the experience was so humiliating and traumatic.”

“Alright, here it is, math-style: I. GIRLS = BOYS II. GIRLS who like math = BOYS who like math IIIa. GIRLS who are hungry to learn all they can about math or coding or medicine or racecar driving = GIRLS who are hungry to learn all they can about sewing or drawing or non-profit work or parenting IIIb. BOYS who are hungry to learn all they can about math or coding or medicine or racecar driving = BOYS who are hungry to learn all they can about sewing or drawing or non-profit work or parenting.”

“My conscious mind wants to smash the patriarchy; my unconscious habits snuggle comfortably at his slippered feet.”

“We want armor to puncture our skin. We, the smaller, slower species, wish for bodies that could shatter the jaws of predators.”
