“When we were together, he’d tell me what he wanted to do to me. He wasn’t asking permission. I was not an unwilling participant. I was not a willing participant. I felt nothing one way or the other.

― Roxane Gay, Bad Feminist

“I’m not very good at putting my feelings into words. That’s why people misunderstand me.”
