Kindle Notes & Highlights
She felt inferior in every regard. An ugly duckling who would never turn into a swan.
She blamed herself and hated herself and punished herself because that’s what women are taught to do. Blame themselves. Blame the victims.
No one tells women that none of it is their fault. That the blame falls squarely on the awful men who do terrible things and the fucked-up society that raises them, molds them, makes excuses for them. People don’t want to admit that there are monsters in their midst, so the monsters continue to roam free and the cycle of violence and blame continues.
It’s not stupid to want to believe the best in people. You shouldn’t get mad at yourself for thinking someone is good and not inherently evil.
