So often feminism is built up as this thing where you have to be perfect. You have to be consistent and you can't ever deviate. That's just not realistic.

Violence is not the answer but neither is peace.

The designation is useful and necessary and sometimes limiting but it is only limiting to people who think, for example, that African-American literature couldn't possibly be something they could be interested in or relate to. They have limited imaginations, which is sad.

So many of us are reaching out, hoping someone out there will grab our hands and remind us we are not as alone as we fear.

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

I like what the internet offers: the ability to get people interested in your mind, and have a chance if you're not conventionally attractive.

Violence is a common part of far too many women's lives.
