"The young girls of color that first encountered the 'me too' movement in community centers and class..." — Tarana Burke

If we don't center the voices of marginalized people, we're doing the wrong work.

For every R. Kelly or Bill Cosby or Harvey Weinstein, there's, you know, the owner of the grocery store, the coach, the teacher, the neighbor, who are doing the same things. But we don't pay attention until it's a big name. And we don't pay attention 'til it's a big celebrity.

What's interesting to me is that people engage survivors from a place of pity all the time - a place of sympathy.

Patriarchy doesn't just make men out to be ogres. Women buy into the patriarchy as well, and women make those comments as well, like, 'Boys will be boys.' Women have to undo that stuff, too.
