“Muy a menudo oímos eso de que en una historia de fantasía medieval no sería «realista» tener a personajes no masculinos en posiciones de poder, pero esta afirmación no es más que un reflejo de la idea de sociedad que tiene el emisor. Y si lo no masculino no tiene lugar en la cultura, ¿dónde lo tiene? Eso es lo que provoca la disonancia cognitiva. Ver que existes, pero no eres reconocido. Reconocerte a ti mismo, pero no verte reflejado en el juicio de otros sobre ti.”

“La disonancia cognitiva nos lleva a mentirnos a nosotras mismas. Intentamos fusionar las dos ideas conflictivas de manero que no nos creen malestar. La disonancia cognitiva se basa en una actitud conformista, la toma de decisiones y el esfuerzo. Bien sabemos que tomar decisiones conlleva inconsistencias; decidir una cosa sobre otras hace que necesariamente tengamos que negar una parte en la que podríamos creer. Es por esto que supone un problema ver personajes que representan la feminidad según la entienden los hombres, porque no se adecúa a lo que la feminidad puede ser. Hemos fundamentado nuestro pensamiento en binarios solo para descubrir que esa es una generalización de la realidad.”

“Real loved one's aren't afraid, and will suggest to you, what's in your best interest... because they wouldn't want too see you suffer the consequences of your, sideways, emotional impulse(s). To see you crash and burn is the gratification of [the] 'yes folk' lurking in your corner. You may not agree, but always consider the voice(s) that have consistently kept it real.”

“We all want to live in a world where we can make a difference... That's why Spider-Man fights the good fight. Or Captain Marvel. Or me. Or... There are a lot of us. And we don't all wear masks these days. Iron Man went public. So did Captain America. Others. Probably because it's harder to keep secrets in an internet surveillance age. But I think some of it, too, is that the ethical paradox can wear you down. No one on the white-hat side has ever hidden his or her identity with less than noble intent: to make the fight about something bigger than us. To represent a greater justice, where the focus can be on right and wrong... and not on whether the bad guys will exact reprisal on those close to us. And sometimes you have to lie... because you can justify a lie if lives are riding on it. Even as you fight for, as the saying goes, truth and justice... even if you're a lawyer who has sworn to live by the truth... you willingly bear false witness.”
