“Good men, like the good uncles who didn't rape us or beat us, but who nevertheless upheld the system that abused us. Men who stayed silent or agreed to tepid changes that never thwarted the power dynamic they held, locking us in groups that failed the whole.”
― Daniella Mestyanek Young, Uncultured: A Memoir

“Good' people who do terrible things are often supported, protected, and sometimes empowered by organizations we love and respect. And almost always it isn't merely a case of one or two bad apples, but that the tree has rotted from within.”
― Daniella Mestyanek Young, Uncultured: A Memoir

“And as belief builds in its followers, the less likely we are to question. The easier it is to hate, harm, and even kill. Because we are the good guys, we are right. No matter how many signs point in a different direction or how that direction shifts with the course of the wind.”
― Daniella Mestyanek Young, Uncultured: A Memoir
