“But too often men react to women in positions of power with misogyny, often in sexualized terms. I have heard men in such situations talk about how "I'd like to fuck that bitch and teach her a lesson," for example.

“It’s a mistake to believe social media is all about hearts and thumbs, flames and eggplants. If everyone were only trying to be liked then it’d be kinder, and way more boring. But discourse is loneliness disguised as war. What people there really want is to be perceived on their own terms, which is so, so funny. Because if the grand promise of the internet was to be whoever you want, in reality it will make of you whatever it wants, and beneath every mask is another mask mistaken for a face.”

“I always thought of my body as separate. It was an object my mind was beholden to, and sometimes, yes, they interacted with each other out of necessity. But largely, my mind hated my body and wished it could be free of it and still exist. Unfortunately, the only freedom my mind would be able to obtain from my body would be death and death seemed unpleasurable in all regards.”
