"Telling a young girl she can't wear what she wants because it's not appropriate encourages the idea that men's reaction should dictate society's norms, and that all women are meta-Eves, tempting and ensnaring men with our sultry-eyed gaze. My parents' culture is steeped in patriarchy, in the philosophy of the one-step machismo machine, where there is just one kind of man, and two kinds of women: the angel and the whore. These limited ideas of masculinity bred men who want ownership of women." - Fariha Roison

"We live in a society that's sexist in ways it doesn't understand. One of the consequences is that men are extremely sensitive to being criticized by women. I think it threatens them in a very primal way, and male privilege makes them feel free to lash out. This is why women are socialized to carefully dance around these issues, disagreeing with men in an extremely gentle manner. Not because women are nicer creatures than men. But because our very survival can depend on it." - Brianna Wu

"The thing about sadness is that it never warns you that it will come back. You'll end up with an aching heart again, minutes after laughing, and it will feel like you found someone in your house; someone who you thought had left." - Anonymous

"You are not clingy, or needy, or silly for having needs for affection and affirmation and attention within a romantic relationship. Those needs aren't an embarrassing outgrowth of your low self-esteem or depression or whatever messy emotional issues you may have going on. That's just basic shit that people need from each other. We of course would not make our parents responsible for meeting all of our emotional needs - it's not someone else's job to make you happy. But inside a healthy relationship, being able to show affection, pay attention, and demonstrate 'You are amazing and important to me' is a pleasure, not some task or burden." - Jennifer Peepas
