Book cover for A Tale of Two Titties: A Writer's Guide to Conquering the Most Sexist Tropes in Literary History
Considering most men can’t find the clit much less the uterus, I find it fascinating that many have taken it upon themselves to dictate whether or not women should be able to decide if they want to bear children.

Isabel Wilkerson
“There are thriving, prosperous nations where people do not have to sell their Nobel Prizes to get medical care, where families don’t go broke taking care of elderly loved ones, where children exceed the educational achievements of American children, where drug addicts are in treatment rather than prison, where perhaps the greatest measure of human success—happiness and a long life—exists in greater measure because they value their shared commonality.”
Isabel Wilkerson, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents

Isabel Wilkerson
“The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world, higher than that of Russia and China, with a rate of 655 per 100,000. The United States imprisons more people, 2.2 million, than any other nation. The incarceration rate in America is so high that the line representing the United States extends well off the page in graphics of the prison rates in the developed world. If the U.S. prison population were a city, it would be the fifth largest in America.”
Isabel Wilkerson, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents

Isabel Wilkerson
“A caste system builds rivalry and distrust and lack of empathy toward one’s fellows. The result is that the United States, for all its wealth and innovation, lags in major indicators of quality of life among the leading countries in the world.”
Isabel Wilkerson, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents

“This was it, how we all ended. Defeated by their brutality, and a world that would choose them and forget about us.”
Shane Hawk, Never Whistle at Night: An Indigenous Dark Fiction Anthology

Jenny Slate
“All of the people who love me, all of my family who have loved me, have never left me. They gather from their other dimensions, and they make a small family party. They prepare all of the food and they do all of the talking. They are not visiting, they have descended into a place that exists as a perpetual home for anyone in our family ever. We come here to be born, to give birth, to die, and then when we are dead we attend all events. All of my dead relatives proclaim, with their presence here, that we are an unbroken group. And they say, “We have always been loving you and we have never left you.”
Jenny Slate, Lifeform
