“Thinking yourself uniquely terrible is its own form of narcissism.”
Sophie Mackintosh, The Water Cure

“Refrain of the man, universal: This is not my fault!
See also: I absolve myself of responsibility.
And: I never said that. You can't take the actions of my body as words.
Sophie Mackintosh, The Water Cure

“I invite the confessionals of men. I am not a stranger to them. Absorbing the guilt and the sorrow is something the world expects of women.”
Sophie Mackintosh, The Water Cure
