“Family, whether biological or not, is supposed to support you, but that doesn't mean no one can ever tell you that you're wrong, or that any form of critique is an attack. And yes, sometimes the words involved are harsh. But as adults, as people who are doing hard work, you cannot expect your feelings to be the center of someone else's struggle.”

An excellent critique of white-centered feminism and the feminist movement overall. I learned and shifted some thinking on many of the topics. The chapters on schools, parenting, and how we adultify young girls are particularly relevant to teachers. Stongly recommended to every adult.
