I am writing to you because I want to interrupt the patriarchy before it socializes you to become the white woman who interrupts the Black woman so that the white man can speak. #VPDebate2020
I am writing to you because I want you to know the importance of telling a man to shut the fuck up.

I am writing to urge you to stop wanting to be liked, and demand instead to be free.
Polite and well-behaved girls do not terrify the patriarchy. We must terrify patriarchy.
