I am a communications analyst, writer, and feminist activist. You'll find me tweeting about books, coffee, and feminism on any given day.

I completed my undergraduate degree in creative writing at Ohio University, and I am currently working towards a Master of Arts in Rhetoric and Writing at The University of Findlay.

My first book, Haters, will be released in November 2016.

Quotes by Bailey Poland  (?)

“Sexism is a combination of prejudice against persons based on their gender, combined with the privilege and power required to cause harm.”
Bailey Poland, Haters: Harassment, Abuse, and Violence Online

“One of the most common experiences a woman has when discussing online abuse is either receiving advice about how to handle it or being condemned for handling it “incorrectly.” This advice is sometimes well intentioned but often delivered in the form of a mansplaining response to a woman who is pointing out that cybersexist abuse has been directed her way. The advice may be meant in a nice enough way, but it’s offered with no thought to women’s actual experiences, no consideration of the consequences of following the advice, and no evidence that what is proposed would even be effective for reducing future instances of abuse.”
Bailey Poland, Haters: Harassment, Abuse, and Violence Online

“Calling the Internet a public forum is done to invoke a conceptualization of the Internet in which all expression is seen as valid and worthwhile. However, in reality it frames abusive comments as suitable online behavior while vilifying any attempt to make online spaces safer for everyone interacting in them. After all, if the only way for women to avoid abuse is not to talk, whose free speech has actually been affected?”
