Roxane Gay
“It's hard not to feel humorless, as a woman and a feminist, to recognize misogyny in so many forms, some great and some small, and know you're not imagining things. It's hard to be told to lighten up because if you lighten up any more, you're going to float the fuck away. The problem is not that one of these things is happening; it's that they are all happening, concurrently and constantly.”
Roxane Gay, Bad Feminist

Rebecca Solnit
“There are other ways women have been made to disappear. There is the business of naming.In some cultures women keep their names, but in most their children take the father's name, and in the English-speaking world until very recently, prefaced by Mrs. You stopped, for example, being Charlotte Bronte and became Mrs. Arthur Nicholls. Names erased a woman's genealogy and even her existence.”

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

“Men explain things to me, still. And no man has ever apologized for explaining, wrongly, things that I know and they don't.”
