I approach most things in life with a dangerous level of confidence to balance my generally low self-esteem.

We assume whiteness is the default because whiteness, historically, has been the default. This is one of the many reasons diverse representation matters so much. We need to change the default.

In truth, feminism is flawed because it is a movement powered by people and people are inherently flawed.

People of color are not under any kind of obligation beyond working hard, doing their best, and learning from their mistakes.
