Women are less violent, but what about all the other wicked traits, like racism and greed and malignant narcissism? There'd still be plenty of that. Oh, I don't know, said Camellia.

“It is inappropriate now to make fun of girls for screaming or boy bands for existing or anybody for liking anything. [... But] Not all women are "our future doctors, lawyers, mothers, presidents," I would love to tell Harry Styles. Not all women keep the world going!

“[Fandom] should be celebrated for what it can provide in individual lives, but it should also be taken seriously for what it can do at scale - not because I like it or because being a girl is cool now, but because fans are connecting based on affinity and instinct and participating in hyperconnected networks that they built for one purpose but can use for many others. We need to know what fandom can do and what it can't, and we need to figure out who might try to manipulate it and why.”
