"You were born with that raging fight inside you but the patriarchy has socialized it out of you and replaced it with acquiescence and a timidity that you will be taught are a privilege. Throw back that empty gift box. Better yet, tear it apart. Your anger is the real gift."
What would the world look like if girls were taught they were volcanoes, whose eruptions were a thing of beauty, a power to behold and a force not to be trifled with?
What if instead of breaking their wildness like a rancher tames a bronco, we taught girls the importance and power of being dangerous? feministgiant.com/p/i-beat-my-as…
I am writing to you because I want you to know the importance and power of being dangerous when you ask the right questions; questions that challenge, not comfort oppressors. I am writing to urge you to stop wanting to be liked & demand instead to be free. feministgiant.com/p/letter-dear-…
