Roxane Gay
“I would rather be a bad feminist than no feminist at all.”
Roxane Gay, Bad Feminist

Roxane Gay
“When I am walking down the street, men lean out of their car windows and shout vulgar things at me about my body, how they see it, and how it upsets them that I am not catering to their gaze and their preferences and desires. I try not to take these men seriously because what they are really saying is, “I am not attracted to you. I do not want to fuck you, and this confuses my understanding of my masculinity, entitlement, and place in this world.” It is not my job to please them with my body.”
Roxane Gay, Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body

Roxane Gay
“If people cannot be flawed in fiction there's no place left for us to be human.”
Roxane Gay, Bad Feminist

N.K. Jemisin
“Being useful to others is not the same thing as being equal.”
N.K. Jemisin, The Obelisk Gate

Roxane Gay
“Some women being empowered does not prove the patriarchy is dead. It proves that some of us are lucky.”
Roxane Gay, Bad Feminist
