“Whiteness and maleness are silent precisely because they do not need to be vocalized. Whiteness and maleness are implicit. They are unquestioned. They are the default.

For anyone who is used to jarring up against a world that has not been designed around them.”

Out of all these words, only aggressive appeared in men’s reviews at all – ‘twice with an exhortation to be more of it’.”
