The message of women's liberation is that women can love each other and ourselves against our degrading education.

The press seems to love pitting women against each other.

The public makes it so that we have to keep assaulting each other.

We have to distrust each other. It is our only defense against betrayal.

People genuinely happy in their choices seem less often tempted to force them on other people than those who feel martyred and broken by their lives.

Writing is far too hard work to say what someone else wants me to. Serving it as a craft, using it as a way of growing in my own understanding, seems to me to be a beautiful way to live. And if that product is shareable with other people, so much the better.
