It is deeply unfair to task writers of color with unique responsibilities that we don't assign to all writers.

Some women being empowered does not prove the patriarchy is dead. It proves that some of us are lucky.

Feminism has neglected the needs of woman of color and people of color in general. But I don't think it means that we should overlook feminism as having nothing valuable to contribute.

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

I would love to see more acknowledgement of how challenging it is to feel positive about fatness when you can't find clothing. When there literally is not something made for your body. Nobody ever talks about that; all those fat girl clothes swaps and stuff are for a very specific kind of fat girl. If I was Lane Bryant fat, I would be joyful about fatness.

The notion that I should be fine with the status quo even if I am not wholly affected by the status quo is repulsive.

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.
