A Quote by Rain Dove

I have been villainized because of my identity - I've received nasty blog comments and emails just based on my willingness to identify with feminism by people who clearly don't understand what I value and why I identify as a feminist.

My situation allowed, if not complete denial, at least a thick padding of insulation.
