I am a bad feminist and a good woman. I am trying to become better in how I think and say and do - without abandoning what makes me human.

We need to stop playing Privilege or Oppression Olympics because we'll never get anywhere until we find more effective ways of talking through difference. We should be able to say, “This is my truth,” and have that truth stand without a hundred clamoring voices shouting, giving the impression that multiple truths cannot coexist.

When you can’t find someone to follow, you have to find a way to lead by example.

I believe feminism is grounded in supporting the choices of women even if we wouldn’t make certain choices for ourselves.

Most of the time, writing is a lot of fun, and not a small amount of self-medication.

I'm fat positive, in that I don't see fat as a bad thing. But what I do see as a bad thing is how I'm treated. I can have the most positive outlook in the world, but that is not going to change how hecklers and people walking down the street are yelling at me.

I read constantly because there is so much to learn from the writing in the world.
