Was told recently that I "don't seem fragile" and I'm "not a victim," and while to some extent I do appreciate the sentiment, – at Brooklyn, NY

I do think this is an example of a larger phenomenon wherein WOC aren't allowed the leeway of softness or fragility. The world masculinizes us and assumes strength of character (which is sometimes there, sometimes not) before we can even begin to express our pain. Just a thought. – at Brooklyn, NY

While it’s true some people dismiss astrology on misogynist grounds, I’m afraid that Le Guin said it best.

anti-astrology is always a veiled misogyny

I am in Spain to receive an award. But I did not come alone. I invited these women, my heroes, because I believe the real awards belong to them. The Islamic Republic took their eyes for the crime of demanding freedom. They still do not lower their gaze. Europe is legitimizing the Taliban and shaking hands with the mullahs. Before you sign the next deal, sit with these women. Look into their eyes. Answer one question: Why? Their stories are not only about Iran. They are a warning. These women fight so their country can be free, and so your democracies stay safe from the same darkness knocking at your door. Keep your diplomacy. But do not sell our eyes for it. Stand with the women of Iran. Shorter alt (if you want TRIM): I came to Spain to receive an award. The real heroes are beside me. These women lost their eyes to the Islamic Republic. Europe is busy legitimizing the Taliban and the mullahs. Look into their eyes and answer their question: Why? Their fight is for Iran's freedom and for the safety of your democracy. Do not shake the hands that blinded them.

Nobody becomes a great writer by studying great writing. They become a great writer by writing badly for a long time and slowly getting less bad. The reading helps. It cannot substitute for the volume of bad writing that has to happen first. There's no shortcut through that part.
