― Audre Lorde, The Selected Works of Audre Lorde

“The biggest lie is that the fight to address male suffering is separate or at adds with the battle to liberate women. We all experience gender. We are all limited by oppressive gender stereotypes.”
― Liz Plank, For the Love of Men: A New Vision for Mindful Masculinity

“Human beings have a remarkable ability to accept the abnormal and make it normal.”

“Guilt is not a response to anger; it is a response to one’s own actions or lack of action. If it leads to change then it can be useful, since it is then no longer guilt but the beginning of knowledge. Yet all too often, guilt is just another name for impotence, for defensiveness destructive of communication; it becomes a device to protect ignorance and the continuation of things the way they are, the ultimate protection for changelessness.”
― Audre Lorde, The Selected Works of Audre Lorde
