Quote of the Day

I'm less interested in assignments of blame or holding people accountable in direct ways for their perpetuation of misogyny, and I'm more interested in having us understand the ways in which most, if not all of us, tend to be complicit in misogynistic social systems.  I wanted to know how we police women, how we keep them in their place, in their designated lane.  We can combat this, and it's not like we all have to purify ourselves or something.  But we have to be aware of the unconscious biases and cultural norms that sustain all of this.

-- Kate Manne, "What we get wrong about misogyny"
