Scaachi Koul
“Being surveilled with the intention of assault or rape is practically mundane, it happens so often. It's such an ingrained part of the female experience that it doesn't register as unusual. The danger of it, then, is in its routine, in how normalized it is for a woman to feel monitored, so much so that she might not know she's in trouble until that invisible line is crossed from "typical patriarchy" to "you should run.”
Scaachi Koul, One Day We'll All Be Dead and None of This Will Matter

Steven Magee
“For many gays, it is not such a rosy rainbow.”
