“Wars don’t keep on unless everybody’s behind them. Men just as much as women. Turn a dead eye to it, profit from it, roll over and accept it… if you’re not actively resisting it, you support it.”

But you can also fuck up, really badly, and not learn anything from it except that you fucked up. It’s the same with oppression. You don’t gain any special knowledge from being marginalized. But you do gain something from stepping outside your hurt and examining the scaffolding of your oppression. You’ll find the weak joints, the things you can kick in.”
