“You don't necessarily have to do anything once you acknowledge your privilege. You don't have to apologize for it. You need to understand the extent of your privilege, the consequences of your privilege, and remain aware that people who are different from you move through and experience the world in ways you might never know anything about.”
― Roxane Gay, Bad Feminist

“Trigger warnings aren't meant for those of us who don't believe in them, just like the Bible wasn't written for atheists. Trigger warnings are designed for the people who need and believe in that safety. Those of us who do not believe should have little say in the matter. We can neither presume nor judge what others might feel the need to be protected from.”
― Roxane Gay, Bad Feminist

“Šiaip ar taip, į neviltį nepuoliau. Ir dabar jai nepasiduodu. Tik apsimetu. Sunkiausias dalykas gyvenime man visada buvo mėginimas visiškai nusivilti. Nieko nepadarysi. Manyje visada yra kažkas, kas nesiliauja šypsojęsis.”
― Romain Gary, Promise at Dawn

“Feminism is a choice, and if a woman does not want to be a feminist, that is her right, but it is still my responsibility to fight for her rights. I believe feminism is grounded in supporting the choices of women even if we wouldn’t make certain choices for ourselves. I believe women not just in the United States but throughout the world deserve equality and freedom but know I am in no position to tell women of other cultures what that equality and freedom should look like.”
― Roxane Gay, Bad Feminist: Essays
