“Maybe the first time you saw her you were ten. She was standing in the sun scratching her legs. Or tracing letters in the dirt with a stick. Her hair was being pulled. Or she was pulling someone's hair. And a part of you was drawn to her, and a part of you resisted--wanting to ride off on your bicycle, kick a stone, remain uncomplicated. In the same breath you felt the strength of a man, and a self-pity that made you feel small and hurt. Part of you thought: Please don't look at me. If you don't, I can still turn away. And part of you thought: Look at me.”

“Now, this girl? Classic. Legendary. Badass. She’s retro, kitsch, and completely owning it. You think she’s just some dude’s idea of sexy? She’s not his fantasy; she’s our symbol. We’re taking her back, bitch!”
