“Empathy is an evolutionarily selected virtue, which, when properly deployed, serves as a reminder that human beings are a social species capable of immeasurable good. But never forget that it must be invoked at the right time, in the right amount, and to the right targets. Otherwise, it becomes a liability that is gamed by those who wish to destroy us.”

“A major assumption that underlies this selection is that it is only within work that is progressive, experimental or avant-garde that staid, old-fashioned images and ideas about gender can be challenged and alternatives imagined.
