I Just Write What I Want To

I'm Lucky Enough To Have Been In The Age Before The Internet And Now During The Internet. I'm Grateful To Be A Witness To That. It's Horse And Buggy Versus Car. To See How Quickly Things Change Has Given Me A Renewed Sense Of Optimism. Does That Make Sense?

I Talked A Lot Early On In My Career About Intersectionality And How Racism And Classism And Sexism And Homophobia And Capitalism Are All Connected With Each Other, And They're These Crazy Systems That Are Feeding On Each Other And Are Also Damaging. I Can't Even Go Into The Whole Spectrum Of It. But I Feel Like Kids Today Are So Much More Savvy About That Conversation. And I'm So Thrilled When I Get To Meet Younger People Who Are Doing That So Much Better Than I Did.

Younger Feminists Actually Care About Stuff That Came Before Them, The Same Way That I Totally Cared About And Loved And Felt So Lucky To Have Access To The Feminism That Came Before Me. To Have Younger People Take What Me And My Friends Have Done, And To Say 'we Have Access To That, But We're Going To Put That Through Our Own Internet Generation Filter And We're Going To Make It Into Something That Speaks To Us And Is A Lot Smarter.'

If People Are Like, 'oh, You're An Icon,' Then Whatever. But Who Thinks Of Themselves Like That? It's Not Like I Have Posters Of Myself On The Wall.

You Guys Are Seriously Missing Out Unless You All Start Listening To Girls.
