I’ve been thinking a lot about this interview with Lisa Kudrow about the nose job she got when she was in high school.

Write because no other person who came before you or who will come after you will ever, ever be able to do it in quite the same way that you can.

Assume that you will always find a way out, even when all the doors slam shut and everything feels impossible.

Framing the issue this way for rape apologists can seem useful. I totally get that. It feels like you’re humanizing the victim and making the event more relatable, more sympathetic to the person you’re arguing with.
