“When women's truths are denied, they have no recourse but to turn to a socially acceptable fiction; when the only means to achieve their ends are laced with falsehood, women embrace that means because they have to.”

“There is no question that women cannot be safe unless they are believed. And women will always lie so long as it's the one thing that ensures their safety.”

“Being perceived as beautiful primarily means being born in the right place, at the right time, with the type of features and body that happen to be currently celebrated as well as being willing to work to adhere to whatever unnatural beauty standards are currently considered desirable. And yet – even knowing all this, even knowing how random and unfair and nonsensical beauty often is – we still present “natural” beauty as not merely a real thing, but even an admirable, notable achievement.”
