“We teach girls shame. “Close your legs. Cover yourself.” We make them feel as though being born female they’re already guilty of something. And so, girls grow up to be women who cannot say they have desire. They grow up to be women who silence themselves. They grow up to be women who cannot say what they truly think.

They have waited long enough for their turn.”
― Natalie Haynes, A Thousand Ships

“Never let anyone make you feel ordinary.”
