The truest statement I’ve ever heard in my life was that “not all men harass and abuse women but all women are harassed and abused by men.”
Never make someone a priority when all you are to them is an option.
Maya Angelou
Having a soft heart in a cruel world is courage, not weakness
Katherine Henson (via psych-facts)
Before I am your daughter,
your sister,
your aunt, niece, or cousin,
I am my own person,
and I will not set fire to myself
to keep you warm.

being neutral isn’t being neutral
if you have the privilege of being neutral and you do it and stay silent, it only benefits the oppressors
your neutrality is literally never going to help those who are being crushed by an oppressive system
so don’t feel like you’re a good person for “not picking a side” because that oppressive system loves your passivity
