“This is why I write. This is why I keep speaking. This is why I endure. Because if I don’t tell my stories, someone else will.”
― Kameron Hurley, The Geek Feminist Revolution: Essays

“Stories teach us empathy, and limiting the expression of humanity in our heroes entirely based on sex or gender does us all a disservice. It placess restrictions on what we consider human, which dehumanizes the people we see who do not express traits that fit our narow definition of what's acceptable.”

“All you have to decide, as they say, is what you do with the time given.”
― Kameron Hurley, The Geek Feminist Revolution: Essays

“Asking men to cut away their “feminine” traits asks them to cut away half their humanity, just as asking women to suppress their “masculine” traits asks them to deny their full autonomy.
What makes us human is not one or the other—the fist or the open palm—it’s our ability to embrace both, and choose the appropriate action for the situation we’re in. Because to deny one half—to burn down the world or refuse to defend the world from those who would burn it—is to deny our humanity and become something less than human.”
